[dev] Forwarding of 'multipart/alternative' broken?

[Marc Jauvin]

OK, I have tested it, and it apparently works for SOME emails, not for others...
I'll "bounce/redirect" an email to you that breaks the forwarding, let me know
what you find out.

P.S. The email will have "Recette de Rapinis pour M-Josée !" in the Subject
line.
