What does your pass_mime_types look like for this list?  If you tell  
it to let text/html through, as well as text/plain, people will get  
the double messages the way they were sent, but most mail clients  
handle that gracefully the way the sender intended.

You want something that looks like this:
multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain
text/html
multipart/signed
