Yes, well as you can see, your mail DID indeed have multipart dividers
within it, and hence (probably) the observed behaviour upon which remarks
have been made.

(I have the luxury of a mailer that, when quoting a message for reply,
includes ALL of the original message's content verbatim; hence I am able
to see all the MIMEry.)

You mail's main headers included:
> Mime-Version: 1.0
> Content-Type: multipart/mixed; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-64F35E9D;
>       boundary="=======521875C3======="

(The above was actually on one line, but MIME Content-Type headers DO
follow the usual RFC-2822 rules on folding and LWSP.) 

[the remainder of your post snipped, which was mostly requoted requotes]

Followed by this:

I suspect that AVG is screwing up Eudora.  A *proper* "plain text"
message would merely have had:
> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
in the main headers; no multipart dividers or suchlike.
