[HTML rubbish deleted]

Please do not use quoted/printable encoding if not needed.
Last time I checked RFCs, MIME was still draft/elective, and that messes
up e.g. source listings, especially if there's no non-USASCII character
at all! (My mailer and printer can handle latin-1/8bit just fine)
The HTML part is a waste of both network and disk resources (and also paper
if printed) and there iso-8859-1/quoted-printable makes no sense at all,
since HTML has it's own encoding.
