Exactly, the header is broken. An allowed place for line break the would be e.g. after the "multipart/alternative;"

directly in my inbox-file makes the eMails show up correctly. Is this a problem / bug with the sender's eMail-client or could balsa handle this better? And if it's a bug on the other side, is there a way for me to read those messages without viewing the source or deleting that newline?

Simple answer: the sender should use a better mail client ;-), which sticks to the standards - they are open and free, so there is no good reason *not* to implement them.

The more complex answer might be that gmime could implement a method to "guess" what the sender intended, and modify it accordingly. This opens other pitfalls, though, so I don't think this would be a good idea. So, in the end, you can only look at the source. Sorry!

Cheers, Albrecht.
