Description
PHPMailer has a function called MsgHTML that sets the email as isHTML and automatically adds HTML and plain text versions of the message to the email.
wp_mail should run this function if $content_type is set to text/html to allow for max compatibility with email clients.
Should note: WordPress doesn't currently send HTML emails so this is more of a benefit for plugins. But if we go down the road for HTML emails with core, this will be useful...
This is a quick fix, so I can patch it up.

Patch attached, but may as well wontfix this, since the plan text version created by PHPMailer is terrible (e.g. doesn't pull out links from <a> tags), so I'm not sure if it's really worth it.

Replying to batmoo:

That still hasn't changed. Closing as wontfix
If you want to attempt a patch, that'd be good.
That said, since we don't send HTML emails in core, any plugin wishing to override the content type should also be hooking into the action in wp_mail that receives the phpmailer object by reference. So tempting to wontfix this, but I'll move to future release for now.
