Most of the time the posts are multipart. It is very rare for me to run
accross an html only post here. I have set my mail reader to not process
text/html parts, so I see text/plain parts in preference. Only if the message
has only text/html parts do I get to see tag soup.

I think that less than 1/3 of the cases (possibly more like 1/10) where
someone complains about someone using html in a post, do I actually see
html. This suggests that in most cases the posts are multipart.

For multipart posts it might make more sense to drop the non text/plain
alternatives at the mail server and leave it at that.

test/html only is more problematic. Rendering them is dangerous, bounces
are likely to get missed and just dropping them is likely to confuse or
anger people.
