That's plausible. The mailheader of the confirmation reply contains "This is a MIME message", but the message seems to be multipart MIME, containing both

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

and 

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Description: HTML
