Probably your imapserver is broken, please provide more info about what
imap server you are using. (including version number)

This is an assumption you cannot make. SquirrelMail uses the advanced
stuff from the imap protocol and relies on the mimestructure provided by
your imap server. We retrieve it by doing a bodystructure request. If your
imap server provides wrong information we show you wrong information.
Outlook does not depend on it and just retrieves the complete message and
parses the message client side.

I don't think this will make us work harder ;)
