Hello Joe

It looks like emails being malformed. The divider string you see is
probably the boundary. If the email didn't properly state the boundary
it uses, it could end up being interpreted that way.
We would need to see an actual broken mail to study what is wrong with
it.

Since it is only happening for emails imported from a pst file, it may
actually be a bug in the pst importer, that resulted in _some_ emails
being imported incorrectly.

I wouldn't be surprised if Outlook did some weird thing when saving the
emails, either.

The ideal test case would be having the original mail, a pst file
created by Outlook with that file and the resulting broken email
message.

Obviously, don't share an email that contains anything confidential. I
can send you some test messages if you want.

Kind regards
