Hi,

An example: I want to send a scan of a Kafka manuscript (as image/gif) to
someone. I'm also nice and include a text/plain transcription. The
recipient's MUA should IMHO display the gif, if it is able to, but
inform her that a text/plain alternative is availiable, permitting her 
to view it, too. Cut'n'paste is infinitely easier from text then from
images.
