I think the message part in question was text/html and that may have been
the issue.

That's what I wanted...

Good question. I guess the addition of text/html will fix what I was
complaining about. I'm not too worried about other text types... But
I wouldn't complain if you wanted to handle more ;)

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
