in thread problem w/ MIME::Lite and multipart/alternative emails

actually, i found a solution after searching through the mozillazine.org forums.

the order of the MIME types is important to Thunderbird. irritating at best and causes 'broken' emails at worst. the specific link i found to help solve the problem is here

    I should point out that the order of the alternatives is important as the RFC (RFC2046) says that a user agent should display the last one that they can handle. Any user agent doing otherwise is not MIME compliant.

    It's up to the sender to decide the preference, and it goes from lowest to highest.
