Subject: 24.0.90; Gnus shows junk text at the beginning of some emails

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

In the attachment is a message which is displayed in Gnus with some junk
text at the beginning. It appears that the problem is in the header
X-Ham-Report. Removing this header in the incoming email fixes the
problem for me (it does not appear in further messages). This is a
header containing technical information and some unencoded UTF-8
characters (U+FFFD to be precise). Here it is with all U+FFFD characters
replaced by `?'.

~~~~~~~~~~~
X-Ham-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system
 "server2.ultrahost.us", has identified this incoming email as possible spam. 
 The original message has been attached to this so you can view it (if it
 isn't spam) or label similar future email.  If you have any questions, see
 the administrator of that system for details. Content preview:  ???????????.

I also have mangled the sender address a bit in order to protect it from
spamming. But this shouldn't make any difference. For me it looks like
Gnus misdetects the start of message body due to this header.
