BTW, "text/enriched"? Where does that lovely thing come from?
My muttrc reads:
message-hook . 'unalternative_order *; alternative_order text/plain
text/html'
# Apple Mail embeds attachments in the HTML part instead of outside the
multipart/mixed
message-hook '~h "X-Mailer: Apple Mail" ~X 1-' 'unalternative_order *;
alternative_order text/html multipart/mixed text/plain'
# senders who can't seem to master multipart/mixed, and send empty or
useless text/plain sections
message-hook '%f htmlers' 'unalternative_order *; alternative_order
text/html text/plain'
So: prefer plain text, but show (formatted via w3c automatically)
the HTML part for Apple mail because it misassembles multipart-mixed
messages, and for people in my "htmlers" group which is a list of
authors that send HTML with useless text/plain portions:
alias -group htmlers htmlers addresses...
mailtained with a program from my address db.
