The default for mm-discouraged-alternatives appears to be nil so you've customized it. If you have a reason for doing so for most articles but prefer to see the html rendered on occasion you can set gnus-mime-display-multipart-alternative-as-mixed to t, which results in the article giving you buttons to switch between the alternatives; or you can just set gnus-inhibit-mime-unbuttonizing to t so you never miss a part, which is my preference. If you do one of those and keep your setting for discouraging html, the text/plain should be shown by default, at least that's how I remember it working. I no longer discourage html. At work I ended up having to either switch to it or run K-H to show it in a browser for nearly every message. But I don't want to start anothe r discussion of like the one going on in the top posting thread (I have to deal with that one at work too - my solution is similar to Ted's). -- Dave Goldberg david.goldberg6@verizon.net
