Alternatively somehow explains to me the wicked path to see the raw mail's text in Lotus Notes.

Didn't you mention using it? ;-)

You can get a small window in the "original" mail headers of Lotus Notes emails by going to the "Properties" tab of a document and there selecting the "ruler" tab. There you get a small window which shows the textual representation of (for example) the "Body" property.

Lotus Notes is "just" a document store with some predefined properties and rendering. Notes emails have a different internal representation and don't necessarily look like the mails you receive after they go through MIME encoding.

Thanks a lot, me and my colleague (you know who) have been a hundred times in this dialogue without discovering that (Motif like ;-) drop-down ...

> True ... Gmail rewrites a lot!

but in this case a chose "Original anzeigen" ( ~ "Display original") which as far as I can see really shows the original.

For instance embedded src="data:image/gif;base64, images are not purged like in the end display.
