If it doesn't have a MIME-Version header, it's not a MIME message,
according to RFC1341 Sec. 3:
Messages composed in accordance with this document MUST
include such a header field, with the following verbatim
text:
MIME-Version: 1.0
The presence of this header field is an assertion that the
message has been composed in compliance with this
document.
So courier-imapd is behaving correctly---it's not a MIME message, so
it isn't treated as one...

...that said, it would be straighforward to write a .qmail file which
fixed up emails in this way.

You could try asking on the courier-imap list.
Good luck,
