Vern Schryver once pointed out that a multipart/alternative with a
text/plain and text/html was *always* incorrect - if the semantic content
was the same, the html coipy was superfluous and shouldn't have been
sent, and if the semantic content was different because the html added
to it, the text/plain was therefor misleading and shouldn't have been sent.
