I just sent an email to myself, both plain text and HTML, and didn't get any 
of it.  However, I looked at what's in my maildir, and the issues seems to be 
still in the files for those emails, but something is stripping it out.  
Dustin may be right that it's a MIME issue in my client (KMail).

It's most prominent when receiving HTML messages, especially if they have 
links in them, since it can garble the links.

Here's an example.

</style> =09
</head>
<body bgcolor=3D"#C9C9C3" text=3D"#000000" link=3D"#FF0000" vlink=3D"#FF000=
0" alink=3D"#800000" leftmargin=3D"0" topmargin=3D"0" rightmargin=3D"0" bot=
tommargin=3D"0">=20

And another:

Content-Type: text/plain;
  charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline

This is a test of Lotus noise.  Here comes a newline.

And here is what happens if there is a quotation. "This should have some no=
ise=20
in front of it."

=2D-=20
