... or "undocumented feature". Of IMail or the E-mail client? You decide.
IMail appends the text to the end of the E-mail. When you use HTML in E-mail (why do
people do it?), it's actually a file attachment. That triggers MIME, which separates
each "piece" of the E-mail (in this case, a text piece and an HTML piece). Anything
that gets added to the end (or beginning) may or may not be displayed by the mail
client.
That's how the famous "Your E-mail client doesn't support MIME" gets displayed.
Someone decided it would be cute to add that text there, since any E-mail client
without MIME would display it. Because of that, most E-mail clients don't display any
of the text before/after the MIME attachments. You can't really blame the E-mail
client, since they don't have to display it. You can't really blame Ipswitch, since
they are adding it to the E-mail. Personally, I'd like to blame Microsoft for
force-feeding HTML E-mail to the masses.
