Exchange like to 'correct' things

I've recently discovered that if you send a multipart/alternative 
message with text/plain and text/html parts - Exchange will overwrite 
the text/plain part with its own conversion of the text/html part.

Since I was writing something to create the text/plain alternative the 
way I wanted - this was *really* annoying!

It's not like it adds any headers to warn you it has done this!
