I might as well admit it was my email that triggered all this. I'm suspecting that this problem involves a relatively new release of pine. I've been using pine off and on for eight years or so, and never encountered any difficulty recognizing HTML mails before.
I also never had problems with pine moving my mails around. Of course, I use pine exclusively when I'm reading my mail under unix. (If I've never tried another mailer, I'd be very unlikely to notice the kinds of things you're talking about.)
I left your name out of it because the thing I was really bitching about in that entry was the severe brokenness of [my version of] Pine, not your message that started the whole chain of events.
I'm guessing that different versions shipped with different defaults in the .pinerc that gets created when it's first executed.

Anyway, sorry this happened to you, Glenn.
