I think this means that there is some MIME type that you have set to be
displayed automatically and you either don't have an internal viewer for it or
the viewer is failing. It is most probably an image type or even html
content (which can be shown by emacs-w3m if you have it installed).

MIME types that are not automatically viewable just show up as buttons and
don't invoke this warning.

Please go through the info page on Viewing MIME, and set your settings
carefully following its logic. All those settings are interlinked. You can't
set them in isolation.

Cheers,
Uday
