Not so. From what I have seen, this type of message is known as
"multipart/alternative". In the example you show the message text would
actually be something like this:
------------------98tgihrfsjdh6345
Content-type: text/plain
This is my message
------------------98tgihrfsjdh6345
Content-type: text/html
This <i>is</i> <b>my</b> message
------------------98tgihrfsjdh6345 is a string used to separate the MIME
types and would be defined by the mail header, something like this:
Content-type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="------------------98tgihrfsjdh6345"
