Pasting text with multiple tabs into Body will create gibberish text (Chinese char set)

[db1]

Under Mac OS X 10.6 only it is no longer possible to copy paste multiple fields from Excel or other spreadsheets. Any text in the clipboard that contains more than about 10 tabs will be converted into gibberish text when pasted into the body of a new Mulberry mail. The conversion may occur immediately upon paste or it may be delayed until the Body is edited or until the mail is sent out, this has not been investigated in detail. The conversion does not occur for text with few tabs (e.g. one or two rows of fields from Excel) but it occurs reliably for many tabs (e.g. 10 or 20 rows of fields from Excel). The conversion will also occur if multiple small chunks (e.g. 1 or 2 rows) are pasted one after the other. The conversion is independent of the source of the tab-separated text (Excel, Tables, TextWrangler?), the character set always was Lower ASCII (US English set). The conversion does not happen in Mac OS 10.4, 10.5 has not been tested.

Note A: The issue happens both when the outgoing mail is copied to a local IMAP mailbox and when it actually goes out via SMTP, so it seems to be a Mulberry issue occurring while the message is encoded for transmission. Note B: Removing the tabs still lets the problem occur. E.g. copying 4 columns and 15 rows of data from Excel into the Mulberry body and sending the mail will create the issue (provided one runs Snow Leopard). Repeating and replacing the tabs with spaces still lets the problem occur. Note C: copying the same 4 columns and 15 rows of data from Excel into Mail.app and sending works fine. Taking the local copy of the mail sent out by Mail.app and Re-sending it with Mulberry works fine. Note D: Here is a small sample of how the issue looks in Raw Message;
