It depends on the complexity of the MIME formatting. IMail Web Messaging
handles basic MIME very well (a text segment followed by one or more MIME
attachments). But, when things get more complex than that (such as the
entire E-mail being a single MIME segment, or embedded MIME segments, or
entire RFC822 E-mails in their own single MIME segment), IMail sometimes
has troubles figuring out what goes where. This seems to be most prevalent
when people forward E-mail from the main free-webmail people (such as
Hotmail/Yahoo).
