Hi,

Inspecting an example message in the mailbox reveals that the structure is
as per the display, except the main body (part 1) is of type:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="B1"

How does the interpretation of multipart/mixed differ from
multipart/alternative, and why does mutt show the former as the latter in
this case?

Regards,

Luke
