Just a hunch, based on MUAs I've looked at recently, but
multipart/alternative
and
multipart/parallel
are good starters. The only creation-implementations I know of
either require either hand-fussing (e.g., editing
proto-outgoing-messages from /mixed) or specialized assembly
macros that are not what we normally consider MUAs (e.g., the
process used to prepare the I-D announcements).
Just to name names: I know that Cyberdog on the Macintosh and Microsoft's
new mail and news offering (the latter for which I don't know the release
status) both produce multipart/alternative by default (without "by-hand"
user manipulation) for certain types of messages.
I have, to date, never seen a multipart/parallel message.
