The problem is that I'm not sure Gmail allows you to do that, at least
easily, for a specific recipient if you're using the web client or their
first-party apps.  (And if you're mailing other Gmail users, you probably
don't want to use plain text.)

Third-party clients may have more options, but HTML is pretty ubiquitous
in email these days and plain-text email looks weird and is harder to read
for most recipients.

Anyway, I'm still not sure it's the multipart/alternative as opposed to
the Dkim-Signature, which is email-specific stuff that I should have been
dropping in moderation (and am doing so now).
