Oh, well HTML was just an example - what about text/calendar, text/rtf 
or text/sgml? It's just hard to know unless you have white list or 
black lists, and these lists then need to be maintained, made 
user-editable, etc.

There's perhaps an argument for simply always displaying text/* parts 
though, in that since the author of the email added it inline, then 
regardless of the format it should be displayed since that was the 
author's intent. That works fine just so long as there aren't any 
popular, yet broken email clients out there that use 
"Content-Disposition: inline" when they actually mean something else - 
I'm not sure if this is the case however.

If you want to open a bug for this, I'll take a look at it. If you 
could include the example from your original email, that would be great.
