The original mail consists of two base64-encoded blobs of content.
If you "base64 -d" the second blob, it's not even a fully proper HTML
document. There are no initial <html> headers or anything. It simply
begins with some lowercase English text, then <br><div> and another
line of text, </div><div> and a third line, and so on.
How your HTML-based mail user agent responds to that will depend on
the decisions made by its authors.
