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.
Where is that defined? Probably would be a good idea to open a bug with them
if they are violating some official standard.
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:
Well, which is it? Rathann says html, you say bbcode? Regardless, as I mentioned
above, if they have a bug, then it should be reported for them to address. Mailing list mode
has been out for several years now - seems to me if this were a pervasive issue with a
published standardize solution, they should take care of it.
Again, I use gmail and things look perfectly fine for me.
