Filtering? Spam checking? (I can't help much here; I don't use Thunderbird.)

In which case, add attribution and indent the text manually. And since you're
using format=flowed, you should leave a space at the end of any line (except
for the last line of a paragraph) which should be automatically rewrapped for
display.

OK, fair enough :-)

(BTW, switching off the HTML would be a good idea too. It's unnecessary
bloat.)

Does ~/.xine/channels.conf exist? Is the DVB device *not* in use by any other
program? If so, any xine-lib front-end should work.

  $ gxine dvb://0                     # selects the first channel in the file
  $ gxine dvb://                      # selects the last-tuned channel

You might like to try something similar to this (which works here), though
you'll want "dvbc://..." instead:

  $ gxine 'dvbt://BBC ONE/690000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_3_4:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE:600:601:4169'

BTW, for future reference (we may as well keep this thread on this list),
xine-user would seem to be a more appropriate place for this:
  <URL:http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=xine-user>
