(Note: just got back from vacation, answering a surprising slew of nmh
email).
nmh (and MH) reverse the order of multipart/alternative parts
internally, so they show up as the "best" content first. I was
going to get rid of this implementation wart when the MIME code gets
retooled.
Best-first has some appeal to me: I start at the top, see
text/html or something else I can handle, and go with that
without bothering to look at the other alternatives.
Meh. Everywhere else nmh presents MIME parts in the order in which
they occur in the message; from what I can tell, multipart/alternative
was reversed just so the display code would be easier to write. This
seems like a lousy exception.
