A first approximation that we (meaning you) could program directly
would be to catch all MIME-types of multipart/alternative
and strip them to the most plaintext alternative given.
This would have dealt with Stevertigo's posts in particular,
since he was sending both text/plain and text/html
combined into a multi-part/alternative post.
