No, if an email sender (Discourse) uses multipart/alternative with two
attachments, text/plain and text/html, then it is required that the
sender format the text/plain part as text with no HTML in it.  It is
also required to send semantically similar contents in both the
text/plain and text/html parts, so that the text/plain part can act as
a real human-readable alternative in the multipart/alternative message
(i.e. it shouldn't set the text/plain part to be something like "Your
email client doesn't support HTML.  Please open this message in an
HTML-capable client.")

In my experience so far with the 3 messages I've received from
Discourse in mailing-list mode, it doesn't send raw HTML in the
text/plain attachment.  It sends something that looks like BBcode:

GitHub is best for discovery - nobody searches GitLab or Bitbucket for
projects. I use them for private repos, but if I want to engage a
wider community than my workstation or laptop, I’m going to put my
repo on GitHub.
