[jira] [Commented] (EMAIL-142) HtmlEmail with both html and text
provided has invalid content-type
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-142?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14153695#comment-14153695 ]
Thomas Neidhart commented on EMAIL-142:
---------------------------------------
The root container for the mime message will always be created with content-type multipart/mixed, but in case text and html message has been provided a child container with type multipart/alternative will be added containing the 2 messages, see the example mail below:
{code}

Your email client does not support HTML messages

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
<html><b>This is a HTML message without any image</b><html>

If I open this message with thunderbird, it correctly displays the HTML message.
