URL: https://github.com/apache/tika/pull/205#issuecomment-332482405
@tballison updated with a test and also:
1) only store the multipart subtype (the entire type is redundant);
2) store the root multipart type when parsing the fields of the main message.

> Flag in metadata for alternative email bodies
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-2455
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2455
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.16
> Reporter: Matthew Caruana Galizia
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: attachments, multipart, rfc822, rfc822parser
>
> When multipart RFC822 emails are being parsed, there's no way to distinguish
> between alternative versions of the body and attachments.
> It would be ideal if some kind of flag were set in the metadata passed to the
> {{EmbeddedDocumentExtractor}} that indicates that the stream is an
> alternative.
> In GUIs that present the data extracted from the email, alternative bodies
> can be distinguished from attachments and presented separately.
