[Hidden-tech] Techy question: Does anyone use Content-Type: headers?

[Robert Heller]

Here is a totally strange question: do *any* E-Mail clients actually pay much 
attention to Content-Type: headers?

The reason I ask is because I have a home grown E-Mail client that actually 
truely pays attention to the Content-Type: headers in Mime parts.  But I have 
encounted messages with incorrect Content-Type: headers headers.  So I was 
wondering, if E-Mail messages are regularly created with incorrect 
Content-Type: headers headers, what happens when an E-Mail reader program 
encounters a "bad" Content-Type: header?

My E-Mail also *refers* the text/plain alternitive over the text/html 
alternitive (and maillers send HTML in the text/plain alternitive!).

I really *don't* want to use a Webmail client.  I have always thought of 
E-Mail as a *text* medium.
