Discovered via [ 797064 ] Problems moving messages
between pst and Exchange

I am confused how this *ever* worked for me, but I am
sure it did. Particularly, MSKB Q268440 "INFO: MAPI Is
Not Suitable for HTML Messages" tells me it never
should have worked.

That KB tells us PR_BODY_HTML is useless everywhere.
It is for me, but people with Exchange Server report it
*does* work in the server mailbox, but not in the .pst
mailbox (and moving the *same* message between stores
seems to magically transform this property - see
797064). "Spam Clues" never shows HTML tokens. I
instrumented the test suite, and got the following result:

Checked 4975 items, 0 non-filterable items found
of these items, 0 had no headers, 179 had no text body
and 4840 had no HTML

I wonder what the 130 that *do* have the HTML are?
*sigh* Either way, a google search looks like I need
to process the "compressed RTF" property (which means a
new win32all method, and a dumb RTF parser) *sigh**2*

    FWIW, I'm not missing that many:

    Checked 4223 items, 0 non-filterable items found
    of these items, 0 had no headers, 11 had no text body and 75
    had no HTML

    27 of these are on Exchange, the rest in a .pst. This is with
    the latest win32all's and cvs.

    The 11 with no text body are correct - these messages are
    all multi-part with no text part (they tend to be virus
    messages).

    If I look at the ones without html in Outlook, Outlook thinks
    that they are plain text. They (I looked at 6 or so) have a
    content-type of multipart, but the source doesn't seem (OL
    makes it hard to tell) to have a boundary, or an html part.

    I'm *sure* I previously added comments and closed this.
