Yes, but as we have seen, some MUAs seem to do a miserable job when
building the plain text part from the HTML (like forgetting line-ends,
which wreaks havoc in source code). I didn't know that. This reduces
my tolerance for HTML mail even in the multipart case. The problem
there is that the sender is potentially seeing something different
from what the receiver is seeing, depending on the quality of the
sender's MUA.

Not amusing.

So multipart might be OK, but expect people trying to help you to
get very confused.
