No results means that the message in question had no MIME parts, but was
made up of just a single MIME entity.

The results of this query show me what I need to know.  Note that the
content type is text/plain, not multipart/alternative as expected with
both a text/plain and text/html part included (both in the parsed
ContentType column and the raw Headers column).  This means that when RT
received the message, it had no HTML part.  I suspect something else is
munging your message before it gets into RT.

Do you have spam/virus filtering setup?  What's your fetchmailrc look
like?  You can try having fetchmail pipe the messages it fetches to a
different command instead of rt-mailgate to capture what it downloads.
