Just another FYI, Eudora is particularly broken as regards handling
multipart/alternative.
This message is mp/alt. It contains a text/html part *first*, and
text/plain *last*. That means that every MUA on the planet should
render the message as text/plain, because "last" means "preferred" and
every MUA can "do" text/plain.
But not Eudora. No, silly us, how dare we presume. You see, Eudora,
in its parental arrogance, will take such a mp/alt, wrongly display
the text/html and _*throw the text plain away*_ _*/ENTIRELY/*_. It isn't
even /available/ to the user.
