It is, but the Exchange server itself apparently forces the multipart/ alternative, though only for clients that send their mail through the proprietary Exchange protocol. Straight SMTP to the server seems to work fine. In corporate-honcho type environments this may be dandy; keyboard monkeys are less than happy with it.

I don't use smtp so I can only assume that there are some settings you can tweak on the Exchange server as we don't have the problems you describe.
