Here's a chunk of the message that's causing the problem:
[snip]
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
    boundary="next_part_of_message"
Return-Path: replies@oracleeblast.com
X-OriginalArrivalTime: 13 Apr 2002 10:19:01.0938 (UTC) FILETIME=[A1D8F920:01C1E2D4]

--next_part_of_message
of_message
ge

--next_part_of_message
Content-Type: text/html

[snip]

This is utter bollocks :) The question is whether it's Oracle
that's bollocksed it up, or Outbreak.

Not a lot that could/should be done here - I guess in _theory_
email could do something where it tries to parse each multipart
bit individually, and return the bits that work, but this seems
like it's way too much work. 

I'm curious why the plugin doesn't fall back to raw message text in
this case? And does outbreak display this message correctly?
