 I think it's ok that the headers are empty. What could be slightly less so
is that these fake MIME parts don't appear in the message parts tree (i.e.
what you see if you press Ctrl-Shift-Z) as it, in particular, means that we 
couldn't detect attachments simply (and filter on them) but this shouldn't
be a big problem in practice.

 Exactly. Unfortunately although I know that it should be simple for a few
years already, I still haven't had time to actually do anything about it.

 Yes, we'd need to do this at a slightly higher level...

 No idea but all messages I had were sent by Microsoft Mail, not Exchange.
All of them worked fine except one which crashed M but this was trivial to
fix.

 Thanks!
