The format of the MIME-encoded message would have both plain text and an
HTML portion like:
-- other headers --
MIME Boundary=SomeBoundary
-- email starts here --
--SomeBoundary type=text/plain
Here is my plain text message
--SomeBoundary type=text/html
Here is my HTML message
--SomeBoundary--
<end of message>
If you analyze a message sent from Outlook in HTML format you will see the
above message format.

Howie
