[pmmail-list] text/plain email

[Markus Baertschi]

The correct behaviour is quite simple:
- If there is no mime header (simple old-fashioned pain text email)
  PMMail should display the email with no changes whatsoever besides
  the character set. Embedded HTML is displayed as text.

- If there is a mime mail header PMMail, depending on a configurable set=
ting,
  display the text/plain or the text/html part (if there is one).
