This doesn't ring a bell to me, and I'm finding that it works with
single samples of multipart/alternative and of multipart/related.  Could
you provide the message you're having trouble with -- off-list if you
prefer?

In the end the new version of the message is generated by formail, so
it's subject to formail's limitations, if it has any.  (I don't know of
any.)  It would be possible to update the python script to handle the
rewrite with python core modules instead of depending on formail.  Maybe
that's worth a try.

The actual replacement of content is done by mutt itself, using same
<edit> function as when you edit in vi, so there should be no issue
while using this script that you don't usually see while editing a
message.

This gives me a thought.  Are you using mbox for some folders, and
maildir for others?  Formail will always produce output with a UNIXv7
(mbox) "From " pseudo-header.  That could be a factor.
