Are these two parts encapsulated in a multipart/mixed (=E2=80=9Cmixed parts=
=E2=80=9D) or in a multipart/alternative (=E2=80=9Calternative parts=E2=80=
=9D)?  In the latter case, the content should actually be the same, accordi=
ng to RFC 2046, Sect. 5.1.4, but this requirement is sometimes violated, in=
 particular by messages created by scripts (usually not by real MUA's)=E2=
=80=A6

=E2=80=A6quite often, (commercial, spam) messages are constructed as

multipart/alternative
     text/plain -> with a body reading =E2=80=9Cyour MUA doesn't support HT=
ML=E2=80=9D or similar
     multipart/related
         text/html -> the real content=E2=80=A6
         image/png -> =E2=80=A6and some extra stuff referenced by the html

Printing such messages is currently broken in Balsa (see issue #75, item 3)=
, working on that.

If my assumptions are completely wrong, it would be great if you could give=
 more details (or even share the message).

Thanks, Albrecht.
