App
K-9 Mail
App version
11.0
Where did you get the app from?
F-Droid
Android version
13
Device model
No response
Steps to reproduce
Open incoming mails, many have no message body at all, just file "email" to download a html file containing the message body and other attachments
Expected behavior
See message body, not just the file "email" with the html body to download
Actual behavior
Most mails show no email body, just the file "email" to download. Interestingly if you press the button "Reply", then the message body is shown in your reply, see attached screenshot (this is the same email from the screenshot above where only file "email" is seen for download). I have tried to find similar issues reported here but couldn't find any.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce on Android 13 with K-9 Mail 11.0 using incoming messages that show only the downloaded "email" HTML file, then compare the normal message view with Reply; done when the message body is displayed inline instead of only as an attachment.
