yep, you can:
outer = MIMEMultipart("alternative")
outer['Subject'] = subject
outer['To'] = email_to
outer['From'] = email_from
outer.preamble = 'You will not see this in a MIME-aware mail reader.\n'
# To guarantee the message ends with a newline
outer.epilogue = ''
part = MIMEText(your_plain_message, "plain", "iso-8859-1")
outer.attach(part)
part = MIMEText(your_html_message, "html", "iso-8859-1")
outer.attach(part)
