Problem is that it's unknown what the status quo was.  The current
status is that the following MIME types are let through:

  multipart/mixed
  multipart/alternative
  text/plain
  text/x-cplusplus
  text/x-c++src
  text/x-c++hdr
  text/x-csrc
  text/x-chdr
  text/html

but HTML will be converted to plaintext.
