You probably should spell out how long this MAY actually extends things
for (if at all, given that 4 days is enough to resolve the dependent
action).

Please specify enough for me to determine with reasonable confidence how
to treat (under these rules):
- a message with only a text/html part as generated by MS Word;
- a message with only a text/html part as generated by Thunderbird;
- a message with only a text/html part which uses entities to represent
all non-alphanumeric characters;
- a message with only a text/html part which uses entities to represent
all text;
- a multipart/alternative message with a text/plain part first and a
(relatively clean and identical in content) text/html part second;
- a multipart/alternative message with a text/plain part first and a
text/rtf second;
- a multipart/alternative message with a text/plain part first and a
(identical in content) Base64-encoded PDF part second;
- a text/rtf message;
- a text/plain message encoded with quoted-printable for all whitespace
and all non-ASCII characters;
- a text/plain message that uses Windows-1252 "smart" quote marks but is
marked as ISO 8859-1;
- a text/plain message encoded in Base64 (and marked as such in the MIME
header);
[Issues: The raw form after or before applying the transmission
protocol? What counts as obfuscation? Which parts of a
multipart/alternative message count? How off do you have to be to be
sending in an encoding other than one you specify?]
