Maybe. I might have a default of text/plain and text/rtf, so as to omit image/* and omit text/html unless that's the only choice. By default, the sender's ranking may as well rule as per RFC. > as an aside, i actually think "the sender's ranking" is a highly > overrated, and possibly even obsolete concept these days, RFCs > notwithstanding. ... > i'm all for nmh doing the RFC-correct thing by default, but i also > think we should be making it dead easy for the the recipient to make > their own type/subtype rankings to override the sender's purported > choice. Agreed. nmh needs some way for me to say text/plain trumps text/html, overriding the sender's ordering. Once I could state my own ranking for multipart/alternative, then showing an email and ignoring all the images would be just `-type text'. Until then, I'm left listing the parts and checking that `-type text/plain' will show me everything I want, ditching the HTML alternative. Or assuming that, and then looking deeper if something seems to be missing.
