But this is just a declaration. The message doesn't actually contain any html code, AFAICS. Things like <head>, <body>, and other tags. As I understood, html messages are frowned upon because they waste space and bandwidth, and because they might contain javascripts and stuff that is problematic security-wise. But if the message body just doesn't contain any html tags at all, why does a "multipart/mixed" declaration in the header make it html? IOW, shouldn't the mail filter (generic one, I'm not talking specifically about g's mail filter) check the actual contents of the message for html stuff, rather than just blindly trust the message header?
