/**
 * ezcMailMultipartAlternative is used to bundle a group of mail parts
 * where only one should be shown.
 *
 * This is useful e.g if you have a text in some fancy format but you also want
 * to provide a backup plain text format to make sure everyone can read the
 * mail. The alternatives should be added in an order of increasing
 * faithfulness to the original content.  In general, the best choice is the
 * LAST part of a type supported by the recipients mail client.
 *
 * The following example shows a HTML mail with a plain text backup in case
 * the recipients client can't display HTML mail.
 * <code>
 * $mail = new ezcMail();
 * $mail->from = new ezcMailAddress( 'sender@example.com', 'Adrian Ripburger' );
 * $mail->addTo( new ezcMailAddress( 'receiver@example.com', 'Maureen Corley' ) );
 * $mail->subject = "Example of an HTML email with attachments";
 * $plainText = new ezcMailText( "This is the plain text part" );
 * $htmlText = new ezcMailText( "<html>This is the HTML part</html>" );
 * $htmlText->subType = 'html';
 * $mail->body = new ezcMailMultipartAlternative( $plainText, $htmlText );
 * </code>
