I have

(setq vm-mime-alternative-select-method 
      '(favorite "text/plain" "text/html"))

and it works fine.  I recommend to comment out all the other
(vm-auto-*, vm-mime-* variables) first, if you have set them.  They
caused a lot of confusion...

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
