... but mutt doesn't support cid: references, so this wouldn't help
us. :/

If you have ideas for how mutt could deal with this conundrum in a way
that's compliant, consistent, and user-centered, I'm interested to hear.
I'm not sure whether I'll have time to update the code, but it would be
good to get the ideas onto the table.

Unfortunately, I interact with a lot of people who use Apple Mail. And I'm not sure what the default setting is in it, but I think it's to prefer rich text (html). So there are a lot of people out there sending out problematic messages.
