3) What you expected to happen
On most attached emails, evolution automatically displays the attached emails. On this occasion, I only see the attached files as .dat files. When I try to open them, they only have the headers, not the text.
4) What happened instead
 When I try to open the attached files in a text editor, they only have the headers, not the text.

Thanks for the report, what kind of attachment is that one? there's a couple of reports indicating issues with winmail.dat and pgp signed messages being displayed as .dat files. Could you attach an example to the report? Thanks in advance.

The attachment.dat file is in fact normal e-mail in the source form (headers, empty line, body).

$ file attachment.dat
attachment.dat: MIME entity text

The only difference from RFC2821 definition I can spot is the line endings. There should be Dos/Windows style CRLF line endings, as per RFC2821, but in the attachent.dat contains Unix-style LF line endings.
