Hi Jerrad,
This allows a user reading the email in an MUA that's not
MIME-capabable to come across the simplest format first, e.g.
text/plain.
That's the theory, but many senders use a text/plain part akin to "If
you cannot read this, get a better MUA"
Agreed, but I was trying to explain why nmh has made its choices. :-)
I quite often find both text/plain and text/html parts populated with
content, but differing content because someone hasn't updated both
templates in step. Another common fault is text/plain containing chunks
of CSS and HTML as if some incomplete substitution aiming to strip HTML
has been run on the HTML part.
So I pick and choose what part(s) to read based on my trust/experience
of the source. :-(
Cheers, Ralph.
