But that doesn't seem to be the problem here. PMMail ordinarily has no
trouble at all with multipart/alternative messages, but it is choosing to
show this one as if it were not MIME at all. I've double-checked the MIME
syntax, and it appears to be quite valid.
I don't know what's confusing PMMail about this message.
