I'm having some trouble seeing the contents of mail some mail, and I thought it had to do the encoding specified in the header of the mail. But today I tried the latest svn version on a server I have with an older RC running, and I can't see the contents of a message sent by cron. If I click on "view source" I see the contents of the message, which are these (I eliminated all the received and delivered-to headers):

Looks like the missing Content-Type header causes the problem. I have another test mail that isn't displayed properly which doesn't have one too.
I'll check that and add a fallback to text/plain.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for fixing it so quickly, that was annoying me for about a week, I thought it was something to do with my how some of my unix cron jobs were running as i just upgraded postfix aswell.
Regards,
Carson.

Just managed to see that was the problem be chacking another mail that comes from logwatch (which does have a content-type) and looks good.
I'll check that and add a fallback to text/plain.
Could the fallback be for badly written content-type headers too?

If you do, please make sure you only fall-back to text/plain if the "badly written" Content-Type header element starts with "text/". That would be in agreement with the MIME RFC, which mandates that an unknown subtype of "text" should be treated as text/plain.

You are totally right. I should have said to fall-back all text/* contents.
As an example, mails with this type of content-type fail to be seen:
