Jean-Francois, a lot of things have changed in the way we are handling
attachments since this bug has been filed. Though this bug still exists but in a
different flavor and applies only to mail that have wrong or no-mime info. the
case discribed here is working in a sense that no html entities are displayed
now in the message body when "Edit as new" but it is still quoting garbage when
mail has no or wrong mime. This problem was separetely filed as bug # 41009 and
you can dup this one agaist it but the problem should be addressed.
