 Agix, what do you think about the following fix?

 Your fix is definitely more elegant.
 The reason for my messy approach was that I noticed when, for example, the
 email is sent from an outlook address to a gmail address, every part is
 encoded as quoted-printable, while when the mails are sent between two
 gmail addresses, only the content of type html is being encoded as quoted-
 printable.
 I guess I went a little overboard with my solution, since the different
 encoding behaviors might not effect BridgeDB at all (since it only replies
 to gmail & riseup).
 So I am all for testing your fix.
