This is actually no bug in IMP, but an enhancement request to workaround a bug in IE/Outlook Express. We don't add new features to IMP 3, and IMP 4 comes with a builtin message/rfc822 viewer, so this is no issue there anymore.

Forward as attachment a message from Outlook or Messenger to your account and then try to read it from IMP using MS internet explorer (on windows XP with Service Pack 1,2). Although it works fine on Mozilla on IE an error message displays. This is because mhtml, which is a windows function responsible for displaying Mime Types on IE, does not work (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825803). As you can read in Microsoft support article the mhtml will only work with files ending with a .mht extension. If you put a variable (like &bug=.mht) in the end of the url in the view attachment window then you will see the inline forwarded message because you will fool mhtml.
