The message is shurely not what was intended to be send.
But it's a valid message anyway. The parser in current KMail doesn't
seem to recognize boundaries from toplevel parts as recommended by
rfc 2046 5.1.2 .

The new parser in libkdenetwork will parse this message in a multipart/mixed
message containing 5 sub parts:
text/plain (the strictly speaking empty multipart/alternative)
text/plain (the plain part of the intended multipart/alternative)
text/html (the html part of the intended multipart/alternative)
text/plain (the intended end of multipart/alternative)
application/msword (the intended second part of the multipart/mixed)

CU Sven
