Hi!

I'm just working in this issue with XMail, and I think I've found the
"universal" way to create MIME messages compatible with all email clients
(seems that multipart/mixed is not supported by mozilla-based mua-s and
others, and multipart/related is the way to go):

###################################################
Date: blah
From: blah
To: blah
MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: multipart/related; boundary="FLAG1"

This is a MIME multipart message and blah

--FLAG1
Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="FLAG2"

--FLAG2
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

This is the plain text part

--FLAG2
Content-type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1"
Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable

<HTML>
<BODY>
This is the <b>HTML</b> part
</BODY>
</HTML>

--FLAG2--

--FLAG1--
###################################################
