Does anyone know of a way to send multipart HTML/plain email content types in the existing system?

You can use the Send HTML Mail check box on the Edit Email Template page to send text or html mail.

Right, but I'm talking about multipart/alternative email construction, which combines an HTML part and a PLAIN part so that the emails degrade gracefully to mobile devices and people who turn off HTML in their email client. Also helps drastically with deliverability since many ISPs block malformed HTML and HTML messages without an alternative plaintext part.

I haven't seen any thing like this, we should ask Judy for her opinion.

Duh......
In Able 5.5 the text or html format was a boolean- one method but not both.
Able 7 has an IsHTML Property, so it is a toggle also from what I can tell from the incomplete CommerceBuilder. chm. The only thing I can think of outside of customizing is sending two emails with the trigger.
There might be more in a page code, but I'm still floating around in ;;;;;;;; C# land;
Or maybe something thru nVelocity.
