`format=flowed` is ignored in inbox (but works for the same e-mail in the sent folder)

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug I have sent an e-mail with the text example from @qwertfisch (issue #582) to myself (using Thunderbird). When I open this e-mail in K-9 Mail, it looks like this: image It looks like format=flowed is being ignored. The Content-Type in the header is text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed.

But this is strange: Since I sent this e-mail to myself, this e-mail is also in the Sent folder. And there, it’s displayed as expected: image

Any idea why this e-mail in the inbox isn’t displayed with format=flowed?

To Reproduce See the mails attached (e-mail sources exported with Thunderbird).

Environment:

  • K-9 Mail version: 5.600
  • Android version: 9
  • Device: OnePlus 3T
  • Account type: IMAP

@da2x : Yes, same problem when I send an e-mail from web.de to an account at strato.de.

I just sent a message to the web.de support team. I’ll update you about their response.

@da2x : Just FYI: The web.de support never answered.
