The order of the parts is significant. RFC1341 states that: ''In general, user agents that compose multipart/alternative entities should place the body parts in increasing order of preference, that is, with the preferred format last.''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/7_2_Multipart.html|title=RFC1341 Section 7.2 The Multipart Content-Type|accessdate=2014-07-15}}</ref> For multipart emails with html and plain-text versions, that means listing the plain-text version first and the html version after it, otherwise the client may default to showing the plain-text version even though aan html version is available.
