Wierd, my impression was that the IMAP servers COULD choose to override
the contents of the actual mail message with whatever MIME type they chose
if they could determine it better.

Looking through courier-imap's source code just shows it passing
through the rfc2045 MIME info as-is from the message, as you say.

Oh well, I guess I get more mail from people with smart clients ;-)
