While we're at it, reject non-plain-text top-level messages,
too.  They probably do not exist in practice, but we cannot
afford to scrub given policies implemented by overzealous
mail providers.

While we're at it, update the comment for strip_multipart.

Hopefully these will make things easier for folks on mail hosts
like Yahoo which implement horrible DMARC policies to prevent
mailing lists from working properly.
