Actually, there has long been a mechanism *in principle* for a

multipart/alternative type, but if no one has actually implemented support
I would not expect it to have survived at all in an RFC at the "draft
standard" maturity level.
Have you tested any MIME MUAs (Thunderbird, Mail.App, ...)?
No. I have a very vague recollection of being sent such a message some years
ago from a Canadian company and seeing both fr and en parts, but it's a very
vague recollection. The client might have been Eudora/Mac v5 (maybe 6...) on
my own machine or whatever version of Outlook my then-employer was putting
on PC's (I'm an imbecile when it comes to Windows...)
I'm trying to fight the distraction of doing a test. It should not be
terribly hard to set up and it is an interesting problem....
