This message is broken.  It appears the mailer was trying to attach  
the text & image part as a message/rfc822 part, but it did so  
incorrectly.  The MIME part that contains that data should look like:

------=_Part_138_1883402306.1282558120569
Content-Type: message/rfc822

Return-Path: <rakesh at isac.gov.in>
Received: from www.isac.gov.in (www.isac.gov.in [192.168.1.13])
	by dnserns.isac.gov.in (Postfix) with ESMTPA id 2CEB210D1
	for <asa at isac.gov.in>; Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:27:25 +0530 (IST)
[...]

instead it looks like:

------=_Part_138_1883402306.1282558120569
Return-Path: <rakesh at isac.gov.in>
Received: from www.isac.gov.in (www.isac.gov.in [192.168.1.13])

[...]

Looks like that is confusing c-client -or- is a limitation of the IMP  
4 MIME rendering (it gets rendered as a multipart/mixed inside of a  
multipart/mixed).  Either way, this will not be fixed in IMP 4.

In IMP 5, this is rendered correctly.
