If a message part is marked as HTML, and the user views it by
clicking on its entry in the list of message parts, all IMP does
is open a new window and dump the contents of the message part
out (along with some security-related transformations).

How would you propose IMP react should the original HTML content
be malformed?  How would IMP even know it was malformed?
