Note that sometimes the "attachment" in question is specifically related
to the HTML part (an image referenced from the HTML or similar).  And
though in principle the enclosing multipart should then be a
"multipart/related", I suspect that might not always be the case in
pratice.

Perhaps "altermime" could do this (though I am sceptical).  You'd
probably need to write a milter specifically for this (PyMilter).

Is this a compelling problem?  Perhaps it should be fixed on the
sender's end.
