Thanks for the quick response.

I know it is invalid it is just that I receive a lot of emails from Windows
clients
which do this.  I suspect it when a eight bit character set is in use, such as
big5.
It seems that all it would take would be to ignore any content-encoding header.

A quick test shows that renaming the header to:
X-IGNORE-Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
and the message displays correctly.

So I wrote a script:
https://github.com/hxw/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/fix-mime-multipart.pl

which can be bound to an Action and added to the toolbar

Just added this in case anyone else has this problem
