I’ve been writing mail software for years and now I’m being asked to deliver mail to mobile phones.
You can send a multipart/alternative type email so you can send both html and text versions of the email. Has there been a standard introduced that supports a 3rd type geared towards mobile devices?
I’ve been searching but I’m not finding anything.

I figure most new phones (read: at least android and ios) are advanced enough that they can display html mail fairly well, that they wouldn’t need this, but I was wondering if there was an actual standard that maybe nobody’s adopted yet.

    There is no special mimetype for mobile phones. Mobile phones just use the existing standard, and it is up to the phone itself how it displays it.
