Thank you, David. I will give 2.0a20 a try.

FWIW, the problem in 2.0b3 seems to be with multi-part/alternative. When I create a similar msg with structure

  multi-part/Related

     text/html
     image/gif

  -end of Related-

...the results are OK.

Many thanks to all of you who are contributing to Hypermail. I'm been running a large mailing list web-archive with hypermail for years; I'm looking forward to being able to include inline graphics and html mail.
