"Outlook and iOS Mail". Both are notorius, non-compliant MUAs. There are
lots of MUAs that will render a MIME digest in a useful way and still
let you open and reply to individual messages. I don't know about iOS
devices, and MUAs on mobile devices are a sorry lot, but reasonably
recent versions of K9 Mail on Android will at least render a MIME format
digest in a readable way.
