Thanks Andreas for the exhaustive check.
Today, I informed the IT department of the university about the problem.
Let's see if they are interested.

The question I would like to address here, is whether alpine is

I wonder how to validate the MIME structure of a message. I guess
there are tools but I don't know of any.
I'd say Alpine is behaving correctly, especially in the sense that in
your case (the message generated by OWA) it does not modify what it
forwards, and it wraps it properly AFAICS.
In case our IT department is claiming an non-standard behavior of
alpine, I would ask them to point out in which regard this is and bring
it to your attention.
I must say I have had to deal with issues with more complicated
messages in the past. Not often, but I do remember that people
complained about not being able to see or open parts of messages.
I sometimes send e-mails as attachement, or several e-mails as attached
digest. Notoriously, Apple Mail is not able to open this.
Probably. A number of my colleagues just try to explain the values of
open source compared to offers by too big to block corporations. I
feel like trapped in an epic saga, you know, the David versus Goliath
kind. The level of entertainment is questionable, though.
Same here. The IT department is pushing very much towards
Exchange/Outlook. We have framework contracts on state level with
Microsoft. I somehow expect the recommendation to use Outlook to avoid
the problem as answer to my report. I agree, a questionable
entertainment.
Cheers
Olaf
