Sure. After investigating a bit further I found out that gnus displays
always the html part and omits the text part with the default values of
`mm-discouraged-alternatives' and `gnus-buttonized-mime-types'.

With

(setq mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/richtext" "text/enriched")
      gnus-buttonized-mime-types  '("multipart/signed" "multipart/alternative"))

I get the buttons and the text part is displayed by default.

Here's an example multipart mail.

Yes, at least the setting of `gnus-buttonized-mime-types'.

I checked the default of `mm-discouraged-alternatives':

$ grep defcu.*mm-discouraged-alternatives {v5-10,No}/lisp/mm-decode.el 
v5-10/lisp/mm-decode.el:(defcustom mm-discouraged-alternatives nil
No/lisp/mm-decode.el:(defcustom mm-discouraged-alternatives nil

So in fact "text/html" is _not_ included in the default value, so Gnus
behaves as expected.  Or did I miss something?

Bye, Reiner.

Autsch! The line

        ("text/html" "text/richtext")

in the variable's doc string was so eye-catching that I took it for its
value.  Sorry for the buzz.
