Generate the plain text alternative if you can. But if you can't, or aren't
sure you can, just send the HTML and don't generate the multipart/alternative
structure.
Far too many multipart/alternative messages are arriving these days with:
(a) Blank plain text parts.
(b) Plain text parts that say, "see the HTML part", "get a better client", and
similar crap.
(c) Plain text parts that are just a copy of the HTML.
(d) Plain text parts that are a "processed" version of the HTML, where
"processing" doesn't involve actualy removing the markup.
These practices cause problems even for clients that show the HTML part
unconditionally because some indexers will always use the plain text if it is
present, on the theory that the whatever generate the message is in a better
position to generate proper text.
