Chris,

Are you running 0.9.1.2?  I'd like to see what the latest experimental 
version (with mime processing) does with it.  There've been some changes in 
html handling that might make a difference with those messages.  Can you 
send me a sample, preferably a whole message (zipped)?

Thanks.

David
