Lately I've been receiving mail in which the text/plain part and the text/html part are at odds. This is typically caused by generator software that ignores text/plain, or uses some old version, etc.

Leaving aside the solutions mentioned, I keep a mutt group for senders known to do the text/plain badly. My mutt setup has the following, which preferes plain text but flips to html for people in my "htmlers" group and a small collection of other conditions:

    ############################
    # alternative-order criteria
    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
    # or just badly badly formatted plain text, such as live.com etc
    message-hook '%f htmlers | ~f @no-re...@cc.yahoo-inc.com | ~f @outlook.com 
| ~f live.com | ~f @facebookmail.com' 'unalternative_order *; alternative_order 
text/html text/plain'
