This particular problem is with _sending_ messages that contain multiple
MIME parts. I'll attach a test message that illustrates the problem. Watch
the Content-Type header. It is missing the boundary string after the
semicolon. It says simply:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;

And because of that, no mail client can read any of the parts. If one adds
the boundary string manually to the header, it becomes readable. For some
unknown reason the boundary string never gets appended to the Content-Type
header although it appears in the body of the message.  I've tried to read
through the code to pinpoint the problem, but I just don't have enough
time.


And there's also another problem with horde giving me an occasional blank
page, but that's probably PHP related as there are errors about "too many
open files" in the log...
