Why is a multipart message malformed? It is a nice solution to sending
messages in multiple formats. In theory, a mailreader should be able
to pick out the part it supports best (text-readers like Yarn use the
text/plain version, NS uses the text/html version) and suppress the
rest.
As usual, though, the theory is nice, but the implementation sucks.
