If you sent an email with thunderbird as plaintext, you get no mime 
entries in it (see first example above)
so I thought that was the correct format.

But a plaintext message with mime is still no html format, so you are 
right about gb.net.smtp sending in a official correct format.
I can live with that. ;-)

The workaround with sending the message by using a socket to port 25, is 
giving me problems, the connection gets dropped, my postfix is a bit to 
picky I think.
