Can't receive cell phone text (SMS) email content in Thunderbird

People can send me an email from their cellphone via text. However, when I open the email in Thunderbird, there is no message. However, if I open up that same email directly through AOL, the SMS message is there. So for whatever reason, Thunderbird lets the email arrive, just not the email's content. All the help articles are on sending text messages (SMS). I can't find anything on receiving them. I am using the most recent version of Thunderbird, it is up to date.

Click on my name beside this reply on the forum and forward one of those messages to me. (mt email address is in the profile clicking my name opens.) I am guessing it will have something to do with mime encoding, but without the message source I am just guessing..
