Re: [Evolution] courier IMAP || Evo bug?

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

Someone else reported a similar problem the other day, it turned out
that his IMAP server was telling Evolution that the Content-Type was
text/plain because his script was not generating valid MIME messages (it
was forgetting to add the MIME-Version: 1.0 header) and thus the IMAP
server mis-parsed the message. I suspect you have a similar problem.

The reason Evolution 1.1 works for you is because it does auto-magical
html sniffing on text/plain parts since so many mailers are broken and
send html in a text/plain part and people complained to us that
Evolution was broken when in fact all the other clients were broken.
*sigh*
