The esteemed Mark Sapiro has said:
Presumably you are using pass_mime_types to remove the 'non-matching' types. What's in pass_mime_types?
(copied from the options page): mixed alternative text/plain text/html
The above is not correct. If you have a single word as a pass_mime_types (or filter_mime_types) entry, it is the main type, not the subtype. So, if you want to pass multipart/mixed and multipart/alternative, that's what you need to put.
I recommend however just putting
multipart text/plain text/html
in pass_mime_types. These, together with collapse_alternatives = Yes and convert_html_to_plaintext = Yes will ensure only plain text reaches the list and will also accept the plain text from messages that have a structure like
multipart/related multipart/alternative text/plain text/html image/xxx
which are produced by some Microsoft MUAs and possibly others. If you don't pass multipart/related, that entire message will be filtered. If you do pass all multipart and collapse alternatives, only the text/plain part goes to the list.
Yow might also consider adding message/rfc822 to pass_mime_types if you want to accept plain text or converted html from an attached message.
