Probably the consequence of some Mimecast mangling.

I noticed similar issues in my inbox for some Luca mails on stable@
and some mails from @Intel people on dev@ and even on netdev at .
In all cases where From: contains a name != sender, my inbox got the
same "content stripped and attached" symptom.
On the other hand, those mails end up fine in public mail archives.

Looking at headers of publicly archived mails and comparing with what
I got, there is an additional trace of Mimecast between dpdk.org
server and my inbox.

I opened a IT ticket internally.
I hope it will get fixed quickly.
