There is no straightforward way that I know of. I'm in a similar
situation where I need to periodically send to a distribution list a
document written in Word and would like to send it with a text/plain
version as multipart/alternative. Nothing I have done to edit the
Content-Type in the header has worked--mutt always changes it back to
multipart/mixed.
The only solution I can think of short of a patch is to set the sendmail
variable something like this:
set sendmail="/home/yourlogin/bin/alt_sendmail -oem -oi"
where alt_sendmail is a shell script containing:
#!/bin/sh
sed '/^Content-Type/s/mixed/alternative/' | /usr/sbin/sendmail "$@"
Of course, you'll need to restore the original value of sendmail if you
want to send any attachments as multipart/mixed.
