If that's really true, why isn't there an option to "Prefer text/plain over 
text/html"? I'd really like that, it gives my a chance to decide if I want 
to even look at rendered html beforehand.
As long as gtkhtml doesn't let me scroll using the mouse wheel, getting at 
the plain text version of multipart mail is a drag. It's far easier to 
switch from text to html: a quick wheel scroll, a click and I can see html, 
but to get from html to text I have to move the mouse to the scrollbar, 
pull down and than I need to move back to the message and click. Wheel 
scrolling has become second nature to me and it angers me when it dowsn't 
work.

Well, I would like it to stil be able to, but only at user request. So, not 
a compile time option but a pref, overridable throuch a context menu or 
something like that.
