One nice thing about the old body report was exactly that - it broke the
HTML content. Very nice for HTML-only garbage read under Pegasus Mail,
which renders HTML-only as HTML[1] whether you want it to or not.
Corrupting the HTML body fooled Pegasus into treating the message as
plain text. I was afraid I'd really hate the new MIME attachment
reporting but it's not as annoying as I thought it'd be and being able
to get a pristine copy of the message is nice.

Still, I think the Principal of Least Astonishment should've kicked in.
Once I start submitting patches, I'll complain more about SA's behavior.

[1] Not as horrible as you might expect, since Pegasus can't execute
javascript and you can set it to not retrieve images. If I have to read
mail on a PC, Pegasus is still my first choice and you can't beat the
price. It still needs PCRE support and I still wish I could turn off
anything involving HTML in it though...
