No, none was able to be viewed, old, new, all folders. I had deleted all 
.msf files from inbox on down. Based on that I believe all was 
reindexed. It seemed that something was blocking Thunderbird's ability 
run the portion of software that displays the message preview pane, just 
a blank spot where it should have been. I went to bugzilla.redhat and 
found that Firefox did not properly render the full page and complained 
about an external app not functioning that allowed PDFs to be displayed 
within Firefox. One of the updates last Fri night was kpartsplugin, so 
it kind of made sense to me at that point. Removing it and closing all 
apps and logging out and back in cleared the problem.
