I can only partially confirm - I see the error in the browser, but I
don't get any error message in the logs.

Anyway, this is a Horde_Serialize issue, not an IMP issue.

It's not displaying correctly because json_encode() is not encoding
the string into valid UTF-8, so the in-browser decoding of the JSON
response is failing. This is why you can view the message fine if
viewing in a popup window - since the message there is loaded directly
in HTML rather than via AJAX/JSON.

As mentioned previously, this is because these views are not using JSON data.

Turns out it was an issue in horde/Mime instead - during the
conversion of Horde code to the assumption that all data is internally
stored in UTF-8, parsing the description field of a MIME header was
not properly converted. It was storing the header internally in the
default charset of the part.

Not much we can do about that message. It is bad UTF-8 and
json_encode() chokes on it.

Unfortunately, json_last_error() doesn't help out because of this
issue: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54058

However, even in this case if json_last_error() worked properly, it
doesn't solve because forcing a charset conversion to UTF-8 doesn't
work either.

Solution: provide error message in preview pane with link to popup
message (which is loaded via straight HTML so it is not subject to
JSON encoding problems).
