Well then, pinhead, *don't put in a text part to a multipart/alternative
message*. My reader understands HTML just fine, dipstick, but
if you state that the two parts are equivalent, which is what
multipart/alternative bloody *means*, then of course I'm going to
favor the text one, you hoser. So none of this noise -- and yo, what's
it doing buried inside an HTML comment anyway, peabrain, if you've
concluded already that I don't dig? -- none of this noise about I need a
new flaming mail reader to see your precious "content".

I miss when IT departments had underpaid old curmudgeons sitting in the
back room hollering that if you're gonna do this, you're gonna do it
right, instead of a pile of cheap CS graduates whose best contribution
to the project is finding the pull-string that makes the new manager,
just hired from Pepperidge Farm or some place, go "Cool!"

I mean, I'm underpaid anyway. Might as well let me have the right
effect on the product.
