Usually when this happens to me it is because the message is missing
the MIME-Version: header.

Yes, most other clients will treat a (broken) message that is missing it's
MIME-Version: header as if it was a MIME message. IMP will not.

No way to know.  It's your mail, you tell us!

Solution is usually fix the broken e-mail client sending the broken mail.
But your situation may vary.  There is no way for us to tell without seeing
the mail in question.
