The reason vm-mime-show-alternatives arose can be understood from this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.vm.info/browse_thread/thread/230530b5570a30e9/e4a33090647e58a7?lnk=gst&q=uday+multipart#e4a33090647e58a7 It is a wrapper that makes multipart/alternative look like multipart/mixed. The VM's internal code doesn't know anything about it. I am still wondering why you can't just view text/html and forget about the text/plain parts. Cheers, Uday -- display default multipart/alternative method and show-alternatives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499742 You received this bug notification because you are a member of VM development team, which is the registrant for VM. Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Triaged Bug description: vm 8.1.0-beta Enhancement request: Often get multipart/alternative mail, would normally like to display the text/plain version by default, but sometimes this just indicates the mail is html, rather than being a ture alternative format. Would like to be able to both display the default and get the vm-mime-show-alternatives buttons to be able to show the other parts. Also vm-mime.el has some checks for vm-mime-show-alternatives being 'mixed, nowever this is not documented in the info file. thans! _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~vm Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~vm More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
