Send altbody so campaigns actually go out multipart/alternative
CI / test (push) Successful in 9s

listmonk never derives a plaintext part from HTML/Markdown on its own
(models/campaigns.go only compiles AltBodyTpl, and
internal/manager/message.go only emits text/plain, when altbody is
explicitly non-null) -- confirmed against the deployed v6.2.0 source.
Every campaign this tool created was HTML-only as a result, contrary
to the README's now-corrected claim.

Reusing the same raw Markdown+template source as altbody personalizes
it identically to body, since AltBodyTpl compiles whenever the text
contains {{ }} expressions.

expressions are still there), rather than getting an HTML-only email.
