I have the following declarations in my ~/.gnus file:
(setq gnus-buttonized-mime-types '("multipart/encrypted" "multipart/signed" "multipart/related" "multipart/alternative"))
(custom-set-variables
;; Avoid text/html parts if possible (w3-mode is slow). Also avoid
;; text/enriched, since it's often more difficult to read.
'(mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/enriched"))
;; Buttonize text/html rather than display it automatically. It's frequently
;; spam and I don't want to incur the wait to have it render.
'(mm-automatic-display (remove "text/html" mm-automatic-display))
)
As a consequence, when a message arrives from someone that uses a
(stupid, useless) HTML mail reader, I see the text/plain alternative
by default, but I get a button so that I can tell that there is an
HTML alternative. (This helps for those rare cases where their client
botches the text/plain alternative).
However, I also get the occasional message where the text and HTML
parts aren't sent as alternatives, but rather as multipart/related. In
this case, I get the buttons, but the HTML is displayed by default.
How can I configure things so that the text/plain related part is
displayed by default in this case?
Be seeing you,
