Hello world,

I apologize for a message that is perhaps only tangentially related
(but as a long time Gnus user, I will assert that it is at least
tangentially related :-) ).

I seem to have accumulated a no longer insignificant minority of
colleagues who insist on sending me HTML email. Mostly I file it in
the bit bucket and figure "fsck 'em", but periodically I actually do
care about the message.

Sometimes "W h" gets the job done. But sometimes the messages include
inline images. In those cases, "W h" often makes things worse. What I
see is something like this:

  1.  (*) text/plain          ( ) text/html           

  From: John Doe (john.doe@example.org)
  To: Some Address (someone@example.com)

  Dear John

  I have observed a severe bug...

  1. I choose the Frobnitz Widget. Fine so far.
  [cid:22DAA184-A92E-4788-9E00-8A0F4184DB75@xxx.example.org]

  ...

What's the state of the art for dealing with messages like this in
Gnus? Emacs 23 can display inline graphics, so I'd probably be content
if I could just make [cid:xxx] elements resolve to the images.

I'll be honest, I usually just bail at this point and run 'ripmime' in
/tmp and look at the images out-of-band. But that's a PITA.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
