I took your patch, modified it a bit and put it at the end of 'multipart'
test. The diff for viewing is attached at the end.

The next question is should we have new option as

--include-html

or as

--include-html=(true|false)

or even

--body=(true|false|text-and-html)

See --exclude option in http://notmuchmail.org/manpages/notmuch-search-1/
and --body option in http://notmuchmail.org/manpages/notmuch-show-1/
for comparison...
