Usually, HTML messages contain a plain-text version of the content as well
as the HTML version.  When available, you can access the plain-text version
directly.  It is stored in a separate TIdText object in the
TIdMessage::MessageParts collection.

When the plain text is not available in the message, then you'll have to
convert the HTML itself.  You will have to do that separately yourself, that
is beyond the scope of Indy.

In the case of RTF, Outlook sends RTF is a non-standard format that Indy 9
does not recognize at all.  The content will arrive in a binary attachment
of type "application/x-ms-tnef", usually named ATT00000.DAT or WINMAIL.DAT.
You will have to open and decode the attachment manually.  There are
third-party libraries available for that (Indy 10 has a class for that as
well), or you can look up the TNEF format specification at MSDN and write
your own decoder.
