The real difference is in the headers of the mail:
a message containing an attachment *always has
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;" in it's headers.

A html-formatted message (without attachments!) will always have one
of these in the headers:
"Content-Type: multipart/alternative;"
"Content-Type: text/html;"

the first one also sends out a plain-text version of the email,
whereas the second one doesn't...
(an html-message with attachments also will show multipart/mixed)

hth :-)

btw: Januk's message wasn't an html-one: it was a plain-text with
attachment, but the lack of body caused tb! to go looking for body in
the html-attachment...
