IMAP Mailbox app unable to parse multi-part MIME email with content type text/html and embedded image

yuelu
Explorer

In the imap.conf, I have the following settings:

includeBody = True
mimeTypes = text/plain,text/html,text/richtext

The email at the end of the post got parsed into:

____________________  Message Body  ____________________
\x86٥\x85杙\xEBZ\x86\xDBiz\xAB\xA2\xBC*'\xB5\xE9\xEDO*^r\x89\xEDz{

I am wondering if this app supports text/html with embedded image. I don't care for the embedded image. I just want the HTML part to be parsed correctly. Did anyone ever got such an email parsed? Thanks!
