How about attached sample? Google aleart mail takes this format. (Japanese version. its charset was iso-2022-jp, and it was encoded using base64.) so horde user can not read them ;-( This is not a support forum. However, the message attached is a valid MIME message. If you are not seeing that message, it is overwhelmingly likely that you have not enabled viewing of text/html parts.

Yup. It's not a MIME message so the Content-Type: header is worthless.

I am getting this problem with IMP 3.0.6, Is this message also malformed?

Would it be possible to add an option to allow horde to be more tolerant with this kind of mail. Mail reader are usually tolerant about this and it's hard to ask some people to fix non-compliant and buggy softwares which send this emails. I had to apply this patch to my horde 2/Imp installation (not a pretty solution, if someone knows a better way to do it ...) to be able to display this html mails.

That is a broken message - it's missing the MIME-Version header.

I noticed that some emails with html, do not properly go to the html driver, but rather get passed to the text/plain. This only seemed to be occuring when the only thing that was sent was an html message. If the html is part of a multipart email, then it seems to display it right.
