[imp] Display Forwarded attached HTML messages inline?

Quoting Michael Wexler <wexler at yahoo.com>:

| Hi, I am a new user of Horde IMP. As you may or may not know, when one
| forwards a message from Yahoo Mail, one can forward "as attachment".
| This is useful for HTML (Multipart) messages, so that the recipient can
| view the original formatting.
|
| When this type of message (forward as attachment) is sent to a Horde
| account, the attached email shows up as an Unnamed attachment ( 2
| unnamed message/rfc822 31.60 KB ).  However, it cannot be opened.  When
| I click on it, my browser (firebird 0.7) attempts to open a file of
| mime type "Content-Type: message/rfc822."

Sounds like you are using IMP 3.x.  IMP 3.x, and the MIME code in Horde, do
not handle multipart/alternative message well at all.  This is a known
problem and is fixed in CVS HEAD.  Unfortunately, it sounds like you don't
really have a choice (since the webmail is provided by your ISP) so there
really isn't anything you can do about this unless your ISP upgrades IMP.
