I don't think this is about right and wrong, and not only because 
there is no objectivity. multipart/alternative is an accepted 
standard, and so is HTML. You might not like how things have 
developed, and neither do I, but that doesn't make it wrong.

The fact that the vast majority have adopted HTML for emails means 
you cannot really ignore it anymore. Mutt already handles 
receiving/reading alternative parts quite well. Being able to 
produce those parts will mean it'll suck less for those who need or 
want this functionality.
