Huh. Ironically, HTML emails broke for me *without* that commit since  
if they are quoted-printable encoded, and we only retrieve a portion  
of the full email, the decoding can produce corrupt text. In the case  
of iOS, this isn't only a matter of not seeing the correct text, the  
corrupt text actually crashes the Mail app.

I'll investigate further.
