Summary: Option for enable/disable combining multipart/alternative

Initial Comment:
If filter_content is true, process() in MimeDel.py
removes all but the first non-empty part in a
multipart/alternative.  All other functionality in
process() can be enabled/disabled individually, but
this particular sub-function cannot.

A message with a text/plain and text/html alternative
is usually reduced to text/plain, since that's usually
the first alternative -- even if
convert_html_to_plaintext is false.

An option should be provided on the Content Filtering
administration page to enable/disable this
sub-function.  This would permit the filtering of
attachments, while preserving the HTML and plaintext
versions of the message.

Note:  text/html must be added to pass_mime_types in
order for the HTML part to be preserved, but I'm not
advocating that change to the default content filter.
