Just checked, and the message I received has only text/html, no
separate text section.

If I do receive multipart, I would prefer to see the text, with the
HTML equivalent shown as an attachment. I think this is normally the
case, as I *have* gotten messages that look like that. The attachment
icon is the Communicator ship's wheel, since that's my default browser.

My friend is less than happy with Netscape 6. She got dragged into the
upgrade as a side effect of an AOL upgrade and was considering
back-revving to v4.
