Once upon a time, Alexander Bostrm <abo(a)kth.se> said:
It was a multipart/alternative message with both HTML and plain
text.
There's nothing wrong with those. (I would actually *prefer* if people
would send such messages instead of just the plain text, as long as the
HTML is sane. No colours, backgrounds and fancy fonts, just <p>, <br>,
<strong>, <em>, <blockquote>, <pre>, <tt> etc.)
Multipart/alternative text and HTML is the worst waste there is. The
vast majority of the time, the HTML markup is just auto-generated stuff,
so all it really ends up being is a more than double-size message.
Mostly such email is spam (I drop such messages to my main mailbox).
