Description
One of the mails sent to the devnull@infra list erroneously includes some binary data.
This has caused some display issues.
The message thread [1] shows the full mail, without any extraneous characters.
However the source email is truncated at the start of the binary data [2]
Whilst the input mail should not have the binary data in it, it would be useful if the displayed data were consistent.

Research direction
Compare the full mail in thread [1] with the source returned by [2], focusing on where binary data causes the source to be truncated or displayed inconsistently. Trace the relevant mail-display and source-generation entry points, then verify that both views handle the same input consistently without extraneous characters.
