I've done some checking on that bug, and:
1) yes, the bug is in the MUA (but that's no suprise... ;-)
2) it seems to have something to do with how the Received: headers are
wrapping -- I've gone in with <insert your favorite *nix text editor here -
mine is Jove> and deleted all of the carriage returns on the Received:
headers (so each Received: is on one and only one line) and told the folks
to try downloading their messages again, and then they work fine.
If you had a perl script in the users .qmail file that would re-write the
Received files & dump the file in their $HOME/Maildir/new directory, that
should fix it. [1]
Hope that helps (at least a little...)

[1] I, however, *enjoy* telling folks that their Outlook Express is not the
way to go... altho writing the script would give me some pleasure, I would
lose out on an even larger source of enjoyment... ;-)
