It's worth noting, the MIME-Version restriction isn't so much SquirrelMail as some IMAP servers.  Some will say a message is plain/text if there's no MIME-Version, others don't care.  SquirrelMail trusts the IMAP server, mostly because it's a great deal faster.  The View as HTML plugin will look at the Content-Type regardless if that helps anyone.
