Thanks for your explanation. Is there any plan to fix this issue 
also in H3? As H4 is not released and only available via git or 
snapshot tar.gz, I'm not allowed to install it on production 
environments. I wasn't able to find any hint on when H4 will be 
released.
No - there are no plans to fix in H3.  The MIME code has been 
completely rewritten in H4.

I will setup a test environment with the latest snapshots and use a 
database dump from the current production system.

This is due to limitations of the MIME parsing library in H3 (namely, 
the completely unnecessary multipart/mixed part added by Apple Mail - 
this confuses the alternative driver as to which parts are viewable).   
This works fine in Horde 4/IMP 5.

Configuring the alternative_display pref to above or below shows up a 
link to display the text/plain message. The previous attached email 
was also not shown correctly with the horde 3.1.7 and imp 4.1.6.

But 2 users have now stated, that they are not able to view emails 
since we upgraded the horde distribution.

Any help on this is appreciated.

At least I found out where the msgstr comes from. It's taken from 
Hordes lib/Horde/MIME/Contents.php

But I still can't figure out why IMP doesn't even display the 
text/plain part of the message.

When I open the attached Email in IMP, it says:

There is no text that can be displayed inline.

If I enable the inline view of html in IMP's mime_drivers.php, the 
html part of the message is displayed. I tried to dig into the 
sourcode but I didn't find the relevant part why the text/plain is not 
displayed but the message above instead.

I grepped for the string, but the only occurence was thread.php which 
was not used, but message.php instead. So I don't know where this 
message comes from.

I can provide further information if you tell me what you need to know
