Some non-HTML parsing clients display all text/* portions inline, thus 
including both text/plain and text/html.  (Some bad posting clients only 
send the content in the HTML part, but still include a dummy text/plain 
part, so at the receiving end, only displaying the text/plain will not 
display the content at all.  I've had that happen to me trying to read 
messages in kmail, occasionally, tho in most cases, I'd argue if it's in 
HTML only, it's obviously content that's not worth reading, so haven't 
been /too/ concerned with it.)
