Hmm. That doesn't answer my question, because the "Content-type: text" header
will be in one of the encapsulated MIME parts later in the message.
Unfortunately, PowerMail decomposes multipart MIME messages for internal
storage, so there's no way to reliably examine the raw message source any more.
(If you receive another such message in the future, you could examine it e.g.
using Mail.app.)
(Pardon my delay following up here. In any case, my original suspicion is that
the recipient's client -- Outlook 11, I guess -- is mis-handling the message on
receipt. But I might be wrong.)
