Re: [Evolution] Some mail imported from Outlook is shown in raw HTML

        Hello,
if the mail states "ïContent-Type: text/plain", then Evolution shows it
as plain text. If you change it to "ïContent-Type: text/html", then it
will be shown as you expect. That's the reason, I guess.
        Hope that helps,
        Milan

Some messages are mangled: Evolution shows them as raw HTML.  For
example, Evolution displays the body of an email like ("..." replaces
private info): 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;

<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="MS Exchange Server version
6.5.7036.0">
<TITLE>...</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
... 


Looking at the file evolution is showing, I wouldn't know what would
be wrong to look for:

~/.evolution/mail/imap/    localhost/folders/INBOX/subfolders/ibox2>
more 1730.

Note that not all email looks like this... it seems to have occurred
to blocks of messages... and only converted messages... no new
messages have had this issue. 

Any idea what's wrong or, more importantly, how to fix it?

Thanks,

Chris
