This is text/paragraph - how does it look?

Seems to me the real test of text/paragraph is whether or not MUAs will handle 
it correctly or at least reasonably. I certainly wouldn't want to generate if 
not.  So I thought I'd post some and see what happens... 

In particular I'm worried about text/* defaulting rules. It used to be that 
text/* was good to display (modulo char set of course). But, I suspect 
text/html has changed all that.  I know early versions of Pine assumes text/* 
is good in multipart/alternative and now display the html instead of the plain 
text. If recent MUA releases (that don't display HTML) consider text/* hostile 
because of HTML, they won't display text/paragraph.
