Actually, mailers are supposed to prefer the last alternative that they
can handle, regardless of type (RFC 2046, section 5.1.4). This way, the
sending MUA can specify which version is the best representation of the
content, and (at least in the case of things like plaintext/html
messages) people with non-MIME mailers don't have to wade through
screenfuls of garbage to get to the plaintext.
