           Summary: Plain text and HTML parts are shown below each other,
                    if inline images are in the same
                    "multipart/alternative" part
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: mime
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mail-kdebugs at codingdomain.com


Version:           onbekend (using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1) "release 104",
KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.20-0.1-default

I've received an e-mail which has the following parts:

* multipart/alternative
  - 1. text/plain
  - 2. text/html
  - 3. image/jpeg
  - 4. image/jpeg

This doesn't seam right to me, as you'd generally expect the following
structure:
* multipart/related
  - 1. multipart/alternative.
    - 1.1. text/plain
    - 1.2. text/html
  - 2. image/jpeg
  - 3. image/jpeg

However, most other email clients seam to handle the broken structure quite
well. Only KMail appears to display both the plain text version above the HTML
version, which makes it look bad.
