+The
+.B \-type
+switch can also be used to restrict (or, when used in conjunction with
+.BR \-part ,
+to further restrict) the selection of parts according to content type.
+One or more
+.B \-type
+switches part will only select the first match
+from a multipart/alternative, even if there is more than one
+subpart that matches (one of) the given content type(s).
+.PP
+Using either
+.B \-part
+or
+.B -type
+switches alone will cause either to select
+the part(s) they match. Using them together will select only
+the part(s) matched by both (sets of) switches. In other
+words, the result is the intersection, and not the union, of their
+separate match results.
