As they should be.
There are in essence two types of mail: flat text and MIME. Yuo don't
need to worry about the flat text ones. MIME mesages may have a

messages that contain no text/plain segment are broken and should be
deleted by the system before any human knows of their existance. HTML
tags occuring in the text/plain segment are obviously intended to be
read as text, and so should be quoted and read as such.
