The source application might decide not to offer formats it does not have 
enough data for.
I guess it really depends what kind of MIME types there are for this kind of 
data (emails). If it is possible to hint "just headers" or "just the text 
body" or whatever, this could be used as well.

Basically this is all just about options, nothing is mandatory.
An application can just offer one format and just offer the internal one.
Offering more just increases likeliness that a receiving application can use 
one of them.

Cheers,
Kevin
