If filter_mime_types is empty and pass_mime_types includes for example

multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain
text/html

SOME HTML will go through. The problem is that in
multipart/alternative, only the first remaining part after filtering
is selected. Thus, with the above, a multipart/alternative part with
both text/plain and text/html subparts will result in only the
text/plain part going to the list.

You could remove text/plain from pass_mime_types, but that would
require ALL accepted posts to be HTML. The alternative is to post HTML
only, not multipart/alternative, when you want HTML.
