This is a requirement of the RFCs that define MIME: they say the last
alternate part should be presented by default, since it is supposed to
be the most appealing one, whereas the first ones are supposed to be
closer to plain-text, so that MIME-uncapable readers will get to the
real text before html garbage.  But there could be some way to disable 
html by default, for example (maybe there is already)
