Yep, that's the wrong place.  The code block you're looking at in
RT::Template is not forcing a content-type, just defaulting differently
based on what's in your template.

The part that forces text/plain is line 205 in RT::Action::SendEmail
(and calls into RT::I18N::IsTextualContentType).  The restriction to
m{^(?:text/(?:plain|html)|message/rfc822)\b}i dates from 2007, and I
suspect it should be rewritten to allow arbitrary content-types.

Arbitrary content-types can be a problem if you're letting lots of
admins edit templates, but presumably if you're letting them modify
templates, you already have some degree of trust in them.
