well, sort of.  The algorithm looks for MIME text, and two 
other types of HTML MIME encoded parts, and if a text (or 
other two) part is present, retains the others

As the link posted to the mailman development site noted, 
there is not one 'correct' answer.  We have tried various 
'mime-defang' and other tools over the years, dating back to 
the Majordomo days (on a RHL 3.0.3 host), and the only 
constant that I can see is that there is no way to satisfy 
everyone
