Research direction
The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. First reproduce the report on Android 11 with K-9 Mail 6.400 using a message with plain text before the PGP content, comparing the result with Thunderbird. Done means K-9 detects the embedded PGP message and decrypts it or asks the user to decrypt it.
