Are you generating the message the same way you did for bug 151732? Just curios
to know if there is a relation between those two bugs.

Problem appears to be related to the body being encoded as Base-64.  
See the attachment 169181 [details] (bug 196180) which exhibits a similar problem for a 
quoted-printable message body; also the problem message in attachment 110665 [details] 
(bug 137022) is Base-64 encoded.


Still extant in trunk (TB 1.0+0506).

Reconfirmed on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1pre) Gecko/2008062602 SeaMonkey/2.0a1pre, almost identical result when forwarding
this message inline. Resetting assignee and QA per bug-day instruction.

This may be a special case of bug 296282, showing similar (but shorter)
arbitrary strings when forwarding base64-encoded text/html with images in multipart/related structure, also with encodings other than Big5.

I believe this bug has been fixed, probably by the patch to bug 307023.
