View Full Version : Multipart/mixed in Questmail

I received this email with the content type multipart/mixed. The email mentions a link, but there's none there, and there's no address in its place and no option to show the email as HTML. I had to click "view message details" and read ugly HTML to get the address. Shouldn't multipart/mixed be handled better?

Shouldn't multipart/mixed be handled better? The message in question is not a multipart/mixed message, it's not properly formatted. There's is only one part, an HTML part, which QuestMail is displaying as text. To view it as HTML, under options, Display Preferences, set "Show HTML Version by Default" to Yes.

I remember seeing a "view as HTML" option next to Options for HTML email, but it's not there for this misformed, multipart/mixed, HTML email. I'd rather use View Message Details than temporarily change the preferences, but a "view as HTML" option would be even better. If I were Questmail, I'd detect the HTML and display a "view as HTML" option.
