Mail not displaying in DIMP, was Re: Problems with Horde Interface after upgrade from 2.2.4 to 2.3.2

[Gavin McCullagh]

Hi,

Is it just me or did anyone else notice that this email was blank when
looked at in DIMP on Kolab v2.3.2?

We have gnupg support enabled, which might be relevant.  When I look at the
mail in the pane below the mailbox list, the mail-display pane in entirely
blank.

If I double-click and open the mail in a new window, the mail displays
fine, showing the GPG output, the body of the mail, etc.
