However that *removes* something if it's done poorly.

Any idea if this will just drop the HTML version if there's a text
version, or if it will squash the text alternate with its converted
version?

To be honest, we could just enable filtering and have HTML parts
dropped. I've done this for xapian-discuss, I think - let's see what
happens.

This means that people sending HTML-only will get junked, but unless
anyone speaks up about an MUA they use that simply can't generate text
parts I don't see that as being a problem.

(Also means that attachments will be junked. Hooray. What's the MIME
type for patches again?)
