For example, the "%f htmlers" in the last line below:

    ############################
    # alternative-order criteria
    message-hook . 'unalternative_order *; alternative_order text/plain text/html'
    # Apple Mail embeds attachments in the HTML part instead of outside 
    # the multipart/mixed
    message-hook '~h "X-Mailer: Apple Mail" ~X 1-' 'unalternative_order *; alternative_order text/html multipart/mixed text/plain'
    # senders who can't seem to master multipart/mixed, and send empty
    # or useless text/plain sections
    # or just badly badly formatted plain text, such as live.com etc
    message-hook '%f htmlers | ~f @no-reply at cc.yahoo-inc.com | ~f @outlook.com | ~f live.com | ~f @facebookmail.com' 'unalternative_order *; alternative_order text/html text/plain'
