Sorry it took a while to reply. You were almost on the bottom of my
"reply later" mails.

Anyway the mbox-anonymize.pl script's (that I mentioned) purpose is to
modify the mbox so that it doesn't contain any sensitive data, only the
mbox metadata is left there. But now that I think about it, it doesn't
really help here because it also replaces all MIME headers and
boundaries with 'x'..

Does it get fixed if you delete dovecot.index.cache and flush the
client's cache to download the message again?

Not really.

That would work for me.
