Example Messages in a Zip file.

For some reason a couple of specific emails (from freelancer.com) cause Claws
Mail to hang with 100% CPU when I view them.

Sometimes I have to switch back and forth between the `text/plain` display and
the `message/rfc822` display to cause the hang, sometimes it happens as soon as
I open the message.

I've tested this on both 3.17.8 and 3.18.0, on Slackware 64 Current (Kernal
5.12.14).

The attached messages are examples of it. `1` hangs, but `2` and `3` don't.

It's rather weird, it seems to be related to the text body and to the reply-to
header.

If I delete a single line from the text body it stops it hanging, or if I
delete the reply-to header, but I can delete other headers with out fixing the
problem (I did delete most of the headers from the file to make a simpler
example).
