One thing I noticed was that the message you sent (at least, if I got
the correct attachment), had X-Spam headers _before_ the "From "
line. If I remove those headers then the message displays Ok.  It is
probably not worth putting too much effort into that display code since
it is in the process of being completely rewritten. Perhaps an extra
pass through "formail" can format you message headers a bit more nicely?
