Do the full sources of the entire broken messages contain MIME that is
broken  in  the  same  exact way? How do they compare, viewed as ASCII
source,  to  plain-text  messages  received  after  the  restart? Note
extra/missing  CRs,  et  al.  For  Outlook  to  display  a  message is
multipart,  one  hopes it has actually changed (mistakenly) the source
to  reflect  that.  If  they  look like text/plain, and (for instance)
display  as  such  in other MUAs and other Outlooks, but are displayed
otherwise in this installation of Outlook, it's hosed.

I  have  seen somewhat similar behavior in a messed-up Outlook Express
installation on the very machine I'm working on.

It's a symptom of "Why Outlook sucks."
