This is a limitation of xinha/fckeditor.  If you want a syntactically  
correct message to be generated, you should install the PHP tidy  
module which will properly fix the formatting of the outgoing message.

I have never see this.

I don't experience this.  Almost sounds like inline display of either  
multipart/alternative or multipart/related has been disabled in  
mime_drivers.php.
