Bug: emails with only HTML content are ignored #110

As the subject says.

Such e-mails are perfectly valid so should not be ignored.

As an example, the promotion mails sent by Nexus don't have a plain text alternative.

Not entirely true, html emails can be archived by using the html2text converter. This is mentioned in https://github.com/apache/incubator-ponymail/blob/master/docs/ARCHIVING.md - if you feel this should have a more prominent place in the docs, you are most welcome to suggest patches

My position is that an email archiver should not, by default, ignore any mails when importing. So more prominent documentation is not really the answer here.

If necessary, the HTML-ony mails could be displayed as an empty mail witha an attachment. At least the mails would not be ignored. Or the mail content could be displayed as plain text, as mod_mbox does.

Dropping the mails entirely is not acceptable.
