No. This is, in practice, one of the worst things that happen - multipart mails that have differing content in both bodies (and it happens quite more often that one would assume).
my underlying, but not explicitly voiced assumption would, of course, be that there is no content diff - the diff is merely (formatted where necessary) ASCII and (intrinsically formatted) HTML.
If there is *benefit* in HTML, like "nice advertising with pictures and tracking pixels and all that", go for it. If you want to send information, go for plain text (only).
There even here might be corner cases where an embedded pic in such 'system-ipv[46]-works' notifications would come in handy, I guess. Cheers, -C.
