[horde] Horde mishandling Amazon.com mails

I attach an email from Amazon.com which is not too personal.

The code defeats Horde, because the code says


html
  head
    BASE href="http://www.amazon.com/"

(I removed the angle brackets for good transmission.)

This makes the Horde links in Firefox, such as  MESSAGE SOURCE and REPLY point
to non-existent places under the www.amazon.com domain.

A criminal could exploit this to make it harder for recipients to obtain the
source code of a phishing email.
