Yup. There was a MIME message with two alternative parts, the first
alternative with type "text/plain" and the second alternative with many
sub-parts (of type text/html, application/pdf etc.). And IMP tried to
view the second alternative part, with the many sub-parts. The HTML
parts didn't end up in the Part(s) "header", and neither did they end up
in the message body view (there was only the message about no parts that
could be viewed inline).
