Unfortunately, PGP corp desided to screw with the RFC and if you 
send a message using their product to anyone using OpenPGP or GnuPG 
who are using Thunderbird in the PGP/MIME format you can not read it 
in Thunderbird.
This is incorrect.  Enigmail supports PGP/MIME just fine:

Works fine here (with a test message sent by myself - your test 
message is worthless since I don't know your private passphrase).

It is quite likely that the body of your text message is simply blank.
WIth PGP partitioned format, IMP does not decrypt the message.   
However IMP does decrypt if it is sent PGP/MIME.  Unfortunately, PGP 
corp desided to screw with the RFC and if you send a message using 
their product to anyone using OpenPGP or GnuPG who are using 
Thunderbird in the PGP/MIME format you can not read it in Thunderbird. 
  You have to download the attachment and decrypt it external to the 
program.  If you send it as PGP partitioned then Thunderbird and 
OpenPGP will decrypt inside Thunderbird and you can read it as normal.

It is a vicious cycle.

Michael, can you take a peek at this?

Yes, all PGP options are activated (Enable, attach public key and 
scan). My public/private keys have been uploaded, and I've imported 
one from someone else. All other encryption/signing things work fine.
I forgot to mention that the encrypted bit is recognized as being 
encrypted, but I have no way of decrypting it (no link is generated). 
This is what is put in the body of the message:

PGP          This message has been encrypted with PGP.
encrypted

Did you turn on the pgp_scan_body preference?

I've been working on getting PGP working in my IMP setup, and noticed 
that IMP will not decrypt messages that don't have the usual MIME part 
data for the PGP encrypted message. This is specified in RFC 2440 [1]. 
The attached message was generated with Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.5, 
using Enigmail version 0.94.
