No.
... but Gnus has `mm-discouraged-alternatives':
,----
| List of MIME types that are discouraged when viewing multipart/alternative.
| Viewing agents are supposed to view the last possible part of a message,
| as that is supposed to be the richest. However, users may prefer other
| types instead, and this list says what types are most unwanted. If,

|
| ("text/html" "text/richtext")

Not much use in VM though, of course, but if anyone has the same problem
in Gnus, it's easy to resolve.
