Build 2002042808/1.0 branch/Linux. An automated e-mail from Amazon.com uses a bad multipart/alternative encoding. Mozilla displays nothing in the message body.

Here's a simpler example of the same behavior. Mozilla shows NOTHING for this email. You might argue it's a good thing, since you can't download the Virus, but really it's a bad thing that nothing shows up at all :-).

Verified above with with: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020424 Acceptable behavior in this case would be to show the invalid message as plain text.

I found the problem: when we read the last part separator (which should be in fact a part terminator), we create a new alternative child part and consider it as displayable but has it's empty, thereis nothing to show. The fix is that when we don't have a content-ype to not consider the part as displayable (that affect only related parts).

An alternative part with no content-type should not be displayed. That append only with bogus part.
