I guess that probably works in this case, since if the html is a mime part
then there's usually a text part already and the problem doesn't arise.
Can someone recommend a good tool for the more general case where there's
a need to process mail based on the headers and content of particular
attachments? Procmail's a bit to oriented to the top level mime object
sometimes.
