The intention is that it should do some sensible thing: so for a mail with a body part plus attachments it just gives you the body text; for a multipart-alternative (text + HTML equivalent) you get the plain text bit. If there's no plain text alternative I'm not sure what it'll do; perhaps you get nothing. >Replying to a multipart in a sane manner is a bigger issue for me than >replying to a "foreign" charset.... I suspect that you could do the de-multiparting (and decoding quoted printable) first -- the changes to format files etc would be very similar, it's just that decode-body wouldn't touch the charset. But I'd like to get the semantics of the charset stuff clear first so we don't accidentally paint ourselves into a corner in implementing the de-multiparting. -- PMM _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
