I'm genuinely interested to hear what "escape quoted coding system" and "let the editor decide" mean. Specifically, why does it matter which coding system the buffer is using, when Gnus will recode everything prior to sending it? > * The MIME display defaults are unintuitive.

It's what most users have come to expect. This is what is currently being done, with two exceptions: * Parts specifically marked as "attachments"; * Images larger than the window, which would be unscrollable in XEmacs.

W3 flies on Demeter, but that's not > exactly a fair test yet. It's very slow with default W3 settings. Per is probably not a good judge of the speed, as he turns off all the fonts and images stuff (and he runs under FSF which is a good deal faster anyway). I think presenting HTML to W3 makes sense. I turn it off like this: (require 'mm-decode) (setq mm-alternative-precedence (delete "text/html" mm-alternative-precedence) mm-alternative-precedence (nconc mm-alternative-precedence (list "text/html"))) I don't know if your mom would grok that.

How about C-c C-x TAB? `C-c C-a' should work, and is compatible with what VM had for ages. Even the prompts are VM-like. Why is it broken, BTW?
