Yes, that is a good explanation. There is a section in the VM Manual called

3.3.9 MIME multipart/alternative

which explains how to configure VM's handling of multipart/alternative.
Please consult that.

I set my vm-mime-alternative-show-method to 'best-internal. If html support
is available internally (e.g., using emacs-w3m) it gets chosen. Otherwise,
the text/plain version gets chosen.

Usually this means that the message is multipart/alternative, where
the text/plain part says "This email requires HTML support", instead
of (as it should) containing a plain text rendition of the text/html
part.

I haven't seen this from outlook, but no doubt it's possible to bulid
fancy enough mails that outlook gives up on producing a text/plain
version.

Is your vm configured to display html ?
