As an aside to the original question, I think the MIME structure
multipart/related
multipart/alternative
text/plain
text/html
image/jpeg
is fundamentally wrong since the image/jpeg part is related to the
text/html part and not to the multipart/alternative part. I think the
proper MIME structure for this message is
multipart/alternative
text/plain
multipart/related
text/html
image/jpeg
i.e., the message consists of two alternative parts, one of which is
text/plain and the other is text/html with an image.
That said, I have seen the former structure often, notably I think with
"stationery" from Microsoft MUAs.
