Subject: [PATCH] Fix HTML content type handling with case-insensitive
 validation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Normalize content_type to lowercase before processing to handle case-insensitive input (e.g., "HTML", "Html")
- Add validation in Validate() to ensure only valid content types are accepted
- Return descriptive error message if invalid content type is provided
- Fix condition in ToNotification() to properly detect and default content type
- Update SMTP notifier auto-detection to work correctly when content type is not explicitly set

Issues fixed:
1. Dynamically detecting content type now works correctly (was always defaulting to "text")
2. Client can now specify content type in request as "HTML", "html", or "Html" - all work
3. Invalid content types are rejected with clear error messages
4. Auto-detection still works if neither explicit type nor valid HTML markers are found

Example scenarios:
- No content_type field: auto-detects based on body (checks for <, <html, <!DOCTYPE, <p>, <div>, <br>)
- content_type: "html": sends as HTML with multipart/alternative
- content_type: "HTML": normalized to "html", sends as HTML
- content_type: "invalid": returns validation error
- content_type: "text": explicitly sends as plain text, skips auto-detection
