That this is not displayed correctly isn't surprising at all.

The text/html part is invalid!

First there is an image tag before the actual html header!

Also it says "document is in utf-16" but this document is in utf-8!

Thanks for doing such a thorough analysis. I believe it can help developers make SOGo more capable of displaying also malformed messages, like most desktop clients do.

I've done a quick benchmark and found the following:

Apple Mail on Mac OS x 10.6.7 => 100% correct
Windows Mail on Vista => 100% correct
Thunderbird 3.1 on Mac OS X => few characters don't display correctly, overall fine
Thunderbird 3.1 on Vista => 100% correct

I'm attaching a new sample message (message2.eml) which triggers a wrong rendering in SOGo (see screenshot). I've seen this behavior also with other messages (not only newsletters).

The same message displays fine in RoundCube, Apple Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird under OS X.
