Order notifications are not internet standard (MIME) compliant

Folks,

Netsuite's order confirmations seem to be arriving as MIME email messages, but there seems to be a fairly major problem with them. The top-level content-type is multipart/alternative, which is fine. There are two alternatives, as follows:

------=_Part_12580_16012420.1223388600378
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


------=_Part_12580_16012420.1223388600378
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The first issue I have here is minor - the MIME-Version header should not appear in the parts, it is already defined in the main message header and having it here is out of spec.

That's just a minor niggle for the MIME nerds in the audience. The real problem though is that the text/plain part is garbage. It looks like:

Howdy, Stranger!
