It is very sad.  So I wasn't mistaken - Apple Mail used to do the right thing, 
and now no longer does. Please file bug reports at 
http://bugreporter.apple.com/ .  With enough "Duplicates" it's possible Apple 
will listen to reason, but ...  Meantime I'll have to post to netnews using a

decode the QP-encoding but then don't wrap the long lines, or don't do MIME.

Just out of curiosity, where did you get confirmation that Apple Mail behaves 
the way it does for the reason it does?
