Someone implementing that would be _great_.

All you! Although, at one point I had written the reply-selection code 
such that it looked for a text/plain part, and even did strip_tags() on an 
html part if there were no plain parts... probably got lost in the 
reinvention of the MIME code, but maybe it can be brought back. :)
