Why bother? If they provide a text fork, then they're saying that
either alternative has the full information. Why pester them to not
send a text/html part in addition?
My code doesn't deal with the case of Content-Type: text/html as the
only part. You could easily modify it to bounce such mail though. I
can't say I've ever received text/html-only mail.
