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.
Well, that is considerable progress, although it would be nice
to know
-- what types of messages
Cyberdog sends multipart/alternative containing text/plain and
text/enriched whenever the user puts any styled text into their message.
MS's thing I'm told (I haven't actually gotten one yet) sends mult/alt with
text/plain and text/html, though I'm not sure of the circumstances.

them as "mixed".
Ned mentions metamail and Pine, though I don't know what they do. I know
Mac Eudora 3.0 displays the "best" one (i.e. furthest down the list) that
it can handle.
