[Alan T. Miller]

I could be wrong, but I believe I read somewhere a while ago that is was 
arbitrary. Perhaps the easiest way to deal with multipart messages I 
know of is to use the excellent mailing class at 
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ and then you do not have to worry 
about it. It is by far the best mail class I have come across for PHP.
