Ok, I'm pretty sure I've got this one fixed. I still can't reproduce  
it with your message, but I've started seeing similar problems on  
other messages. If I'm correct, it was an issue with truncating the  
body text before it was decoded in certain cases.  Try upgrading to  
the latest Horde/ActiveSync package and let me know if this has been  
fixed for you.
