Hi, Brian.  A couple of issues.

The "multipart/mixed" line should definitely not be output, and there
was a patch to the list to fix that a long time ago, which unfortunately
has yet to be applied.

The "text/html" line is because notmuch doesn't output non-text/plain
parts by default.  Notmuch doesn't link against any html parser, for
instance, so if notmuch were to output a text/html part it would just be
raw html, which of course wouldn't be any better.

It looks like you've received an email without any text/plain parts,
which is unfortunate.  The emacs interface will do some parsing of html
parts (with w3, I think), but there's not currently any way to do this
in reply.
