It looks as though the mail gem does try to convert the input to CRLF
before parsing.
However, it only does this if the input is ASCII-only (*).

Whilst this is the best approach, I think we can ignore that check and
just convert to CRLF.
[It may cause a very occasional glitch, but any such should be obvious.]

It explains why the original email failed to parse: there are several
non-ASCII chars in it.
These have been converted to quoted-printable by the version you
forwarded, thus allowing the parse to complete OK.

I'll commit a fix shortly.

S.
(*) This applies to binary data, which is all that we know about the
input at this point.
