Content-Type may be 'text/html' in a single part message as well.

Check the part headers, I think even in OE you can disable multipart when
sending HTML messages, so a plain text part may be missing.
I also think you cannot rely on a certain order of Text and Html parts. 

In my AutoReader NT I take the plain text if available otherwise the program
tries a basic HTML To Text conversation.
