Thank you, what you did, improved the situation, now the HTML email
becomes visible and does not appear as attachment.

I guess you removed the Content-Disposition: inline

In the email that I am constructed with makemime tool from Courier
MTA, I see after the Subject line, the Content-Disposition: inline,
and the email is working, only for your notice.

Now the email constructed by mail tool from Mailutils, is still
appearing in Yahoo, that there is "Text" as attachment.

The email constructed with makemime, also have the text and html part,
but text part is not appearing as attachment.

Do you think that in --alternative, also the text part shall not be
with Content-Disposition: inline?

That way text would not appear as attachment.
