They can fix it at their network border by preventing Exchange from using rich text to forward content. Exchange simply loves to meddle with the contents of emails including, but not limited to, using rich text format and messing about with the line length in emails.
Hopefully, as the grip that Exchange and Outlook have on email diminishes (with people collecting email on mobile devices etc) they'll be forced to adhere to standards a bit more.
In the meantime I guess we're stuck having to work around it (and MS described the GPL as a cancer!)
The specifics depend on the version of Exchange they are running.
I figured I could work that out from their email headers but can't see anything useful, which seems odd? Can't even find a reference to Outlook!
One side effect that they will have to be aware of is sending calendar entries to other external Outlook users will probably break if they do this.
Hmm, this is something they do so I guess that might be a showstopper, although that said I've received .ICS files from them in the past (when for whatever reason they weren't forcing winmail.dat's on me).
I guess I'll have to live with it for now.
