Yes, that is a good explanation. There is a section in the VM Manual called 3.3.9 MIME multipart/alternative which explains how to configure VM's handling of multipart/alternative. Please consult that. I set my vm-mime-alternative-show-method to 'best-internal. If html support is available internally (e.g., using emacs-w3m) it gets chosen. Otherwise, the text/plain version gets chosen. Cheers, Uday
