I suspect when you choose to view all mail as plain text, the text/plain 
part will be displayed if there is one (on the assumption that the 
sender will have optimised it for plain-text display), otherwise the 
HTML will be stripped out, perhaps with some intelligent spacing of 
things like tables, paragraph elements, displaying URLs for links etc.

All very interesting, but not of much practical use to us mere users of 
the list, except perhaps to understand why some people appear to be 
incapable of reading what should be at the bottom of every email!
