Only if the only multipart/related parts I get are HTML-centred (true
now, but not necessarily for ever). The problem is the same if you're
discouraging any other multipart/* - you don't want to do it without
knowing what's inside the multipart. Except multipart/digest, where
you know the contents are all message/rfc822.
But as I said, it's not a big enough problem to worry about just yet.
