I've updated those files slightly so that they each have a different
Message-ID: and Subject: header, otherwise they won't be distinguishable
in some MUAs.  I've also added a Date: header for standards compliance.

Here are snapshots of icedove and notmuch (please excuse my horrid color

none of them look particularly good :/

If i get a chance to test other MUAs, i'll update that page and let you
know.
