    Extracts the text/plain  mime part if there is one as the ticket description and
    stores the text/html part as an attachment if it is present.
    If no text/plain  part is present then it will try to use the text/html part if
    it is present as the ticket description by removing the HTML formatting.
    If neither a text/plain or text/html is present then it will use the first text/*
    MIME part that it finds as the ticket description.
    By default it will always take only the actual message and drop any chained messages
    from replies.
    The HELPDESK_FULL_FIRST_MESSAGE_FROM_EMAIL settings can force the entire message to be
    stored in the ticket if it is a new ticket by setting it to True.
    In this scenario, if it is a reply that is a forwarded message with no actual message,
    then the description will be sourced from the text/html part and the forwarded message
    will be in the FollowUp record associated with the ticket.
    It will iterate over every MIME part and store all MIME parts as attachments apart
    from the text/plain part.
    There may be a case for trying to exclude repeated signature images by checking if an
    attachment of the same name already exists as an attachment on the ticket but that is
    not implemented.
