I assume you are talking about a text/plain part?  Gnus is not a HTML
renderer.  There's no reason to convert "%2c" to "," when displaying
text/plain.  I tend to think that rendering text/plain is a bug in
Thunderbird.

I think the bug is on pcworld.com, but I might be wrong.

theotp1:~/public_html/tmp$ cat fid%2c67731
