I've seen this bug in StarOffice's mail client as well when I tried it
over a year ago. If you like the way it handles the html in your mail
I suggest trying KMail or one of the Mozilla/Netscape flavor's where the
bugs are looked at more regularly.

I don't know of any... never researched into it after Darxus showed me
the 'mutt' mail client one day at work which I have been using since...
Perhaps you could download the latest beta version of StarOffice
and import/migrate your mail to it and see if they fixed the bug?
Maybe try Open Office?
