The email client seems to clear the body of a draft created with some other email client when opening the draft.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Create a draft with Thunderbird (or any other email client, I assume)
   • Subject: “foo”
   • Body: “bar”
2. Open Jolla email client
3. Open the Drafts folder
4. Open the newly created draft
   Expected results:
   • Subject is “foo”
   • Body is “bar”
   Actual results:
   • Subject is “foo”
   • Body is empty (the editor shows the grayed-out hint “Write message...”)

After editing the same draft again with some other email client, the behavior changes: now the Jolla email client does not clear the body of the draft anymore but shows the contents as expected:

(Continuing from the previous step)

1. Go back to the Draft folder in the Jolla email client
2. Edit the draft with Thunderbird
   • Change the body to “bar”
   • Save the draft
3. Update the drafts folder on Jolla
4. Open the updated draft
   Expected and actual results:
   • Subject is “foo”
   • Body is “bar”

If the draft is originally created using the Jolla email client itself and opened after that, everything works as expected.

Jolla SW: 1.1.1.27
Email account type: General email (Only one account exists)
Server: IMAP
Connection: SSL
Draft folder name: “Drafts”
Other email client: Mozilla Thunderbird 31.3.0 up-to-date from the Ubuntu 14.04 repository

Couldn't find any other related posts but this: https://together.jolla.com/question/10166/email-re-savingupdating-a-draft-doesnt-work/, which doesn't seem to be related as far as I see, and should already be fixed / released anyway.
