  Can you share this email with me using “Message ▸ Forward as Attachment”? (Maybe an anonymized version if you know to do that using a text editor.)

  I'm guessing that somehow the message contains an editable area (using HTML), e.g., using contenteditable. I haven't really considered if that is something MailMate should somehow prevent.

  It's probably the same issue as described for another email client here.

  I emailed you off-ticket with a sample (non-anonymized) message.

  @Matt: Thanks, that worked. My first attempt to fix it kind of worked, but it also prevented selecting text in the same text field (which is worse). I also noted that Apple Mail behaves like MailMate. Right now, I'm leaning towards not “fixing” this, and I'm not really sure I should fix it even if it was easy. It's an Outlook bug and it does not appear to have any serious security related side effects (the message is not really changed).

  @benny: Thanks for taking a look. I agree with the direction you're leaning. For a moment, I thought I had found some rare and interesting MailMate bug. This feels like a very low priority or a wontfix to me as well.

  One concrete usability effect of this is that links inside the contenteditable are not clickable.

  Considering how rare these messages are, though, agree on dev resources being better spent on other issues.
