The majority (in my sample which may or may not be representative) have only text/html, but a significant number also have plain text. If it is practical, it would be a good idea to automatically extract plain text only for senders who are part of the list. If that can't be done, then send a bounce message to the sender. If it isn't a spam message, the sender can resend in plain text.
