    A simplier idea. Enforced conversion of "Multipart/Alternative" to
    "text/plain", completely deleting "text/html" version. Many people (me
    too) believe that hypertext e-mail is still useful mostly for spammers
    and those social engineers; more normal people just have no time to
    perform markup.
