I have added the following section to my working copy of the draft-ietf-mhtml-info document. It has not been submitted yet.
1.1 Reducing the download time
If a message is sent as multipart/alternative, this would normally mean that the mail client downloads both variants, and then shows only one of the to the user. This will thus increase the download time. A way of avoiding this problem is to use the FETCH command of IMAP, which allows a client to download only certain body parts from a multipart message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jacob Palme <[log in to unmask]> (Stockholm University and KTH) for more info see URL: http://www.dsv.su.se/~jpalme
