Comment:

 That's great news! The reason is that the GetTor mail service is not made
 to parse multipart messages. HTML mails are a bunch of sliced crap and
 should not be used. Did you hear of EFAIL? Crafted HTML mails can lead to
 all kind of unfriendly things and you should tell everyone who sends you
 HTML formatted mails.

 If you want, read a bit about it:
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFAIL
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME#Multipart_messages
 https://riseup.net/en/email/scams
 https://riseup.net/en/security

 Feel free to ask more questions, but i will close this ticket now, as
 GetTor works well.
