When the plain text is available its a matter of telling gnus your `prefer' to be shown the plain text... you can also tell gnus to show you the buttons for both plain/text and text/html so if you really need to see the html rendered you can still double click the button and get w3m to render it. Heres how to do it when the plain text is available in ~/.gnus For the buttons: (setq gnus-buttonized-mime-types (quote ("multipart/signed" "multipart/alternative" ))) To discourage rendered html and show plain text when possible: (setq mm-automatic-display (remove "text/html" mm-automatic-display) mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/richtext"))
