We've turned this on at our site, and we've received some inquires as to why not
all HTML encoded email gets rendered as HTML.

Looking that the message headers, they're setting

    Content-type: text/html

But I *think* the common denominator in the ones that don't work is the lack of
the

    MIME-Version: 1.0

header.  In my quick survey of the mail *I've* been sent, it seems the ones that
work set MIME-Version, and the ones that don't, don't.

Am I right in thinking that IMP won't display HTML email as HTML based solely on
the content-type of the message?
