One option to get around this might be to assume that m/a is generally used
only for text/plain and text/html. I can't recall seeing anything else. If
I've actually seen one that had text/plain, text/html, and application/msword.
I seeme to remember one that was text/html and an external-bodypart reference
to a VRML file, but that could have been just a bad dream ;)
that's the case then you make your decision at coding time. If your
implementation can deal with HTML you always skip the text/plain
alternative. If it can't you always take the text/plain alternative.
I've seen *plenty* of borked multipart/alternative that only includes
a text/plain bodypart. This would Lose Big Time if your implementation
always chooses the HTML variant. ;)
