I'm sure.  You can verify by adding -noreformat.  The text/plain
part was not in a multipart/alternative with the text/html part,
so while it might correspond, there's no way for mhfixmsg to know
that for sure.

Yes, the Fedora configuration/installation doesn't pick up any
mhfixmsg entries for mhn.defaults.  The right way to fix that would
be to add a package dependency, I'll look into that.
