Doesn't that depend on whether it is multipart/mixed or multipart/alternative?

With multipart/mixed:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2046#section-5.1.3
   The "mixed" subtype of "multipart" is intended for use when the body
   parts are independent and need to be bundled in a particular order.
   Any "multipart" subtypes that an implementation does not recognize
   must be treated as being of subtype "mixed".

With multipart/alternative:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2046#section-5.1.4
   The "multipart/alternative" type is syntactically identical to
   "multipart/mixed", but the semantics are different.  In particular,
   each of the body parts is an "alternative" version of the same
   information.

I.e. with multipart/mixed both the calendar and text should be displayed
in the order they are found in the email, while with
multipart/alternative only the "richest" alternative should be
displayed?
