What if the text/plain message is merely a message saying "I'm sorry, but this
message cannot be displayed in you mailer. The actual message has been attached
as an HTML message." -- This has happened.

Some thought needs to be applied on what would be the best way to
support such a feature. One part is that actual implementation, the

preference ordering.
Well, by far the most common is text/plain and text/html sent by such
clients as Outhouse (which you love so well ;), so the obvious thing
would be simply adding a prefer-multipart-plain-over-html config option.
More generally I guess you could have a config section that specified
a a multipart type and a list of MIME types in order of preference... A
truly generic solution might be difficult to describe elegantly in a
config file.
