Hrm, I see.  It's "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;" indeed.
Gmail and apparently outlook(?) likes to send the same message as
both plain text and html.  ovs-dev just drops the html alternative
keeping the plain text, that's why we have the patch there.

@Faicker, you'll need to re-configure your email client to avoid
inclusion of the html alternative parts, I suppose.  Or someone
else will need to re-send your patches, if not possible.  AFAIK,
it's not possible to turn off the multipart/alternative in gmail
web interface, not sure about outlook.

Some useful information and links are available here:
  https://docs.kernel.org/process/email-clients.html
Ideally, git send-email is the preferred client for sending patches.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
