This is correct behavior.

RFC 2046 [5.1.4] (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046#section-5.1.4):

    Receiving user agents should pick and display the last format
    they are capable of displaying...What is most critical, however, is that
    the user not automatically be shown multiple versions of the same data.

We display the richest content of the related part we can.  This is  
correct behavior.  You can use the show all parts button  to display  
any other part that isn't shown.
