I don't remember, sorry.  I also didn't see anything pertinent in the
Git logs.

Moreover, upon re-reading the original report several times, I don't
think I understand what exactly is the bug: the original report is a
multipart message which is hard to parse.  It also shows what I think
is a single message, but says "The result should be 3 messages", which
left me utterly confused.

I'd prefer to have a description with 2 attachments: the original
message, and the forwarded message.  And the description should tell
in full what was expected to be seen, and why, preferably without
using ellipsis and hard-to-understand terminology such as "under
mboxrd".

Is it possible to get such a detailed report?  Then I could try the
messages here and see if there's still a problem left in our current
sources.

At this point I can only say that I'm forwarding email with MIME
attachments quite a lot, and didn't spot any problems, although I
admit there's not a lot of ">>...>From" in them.
