Another approach would be to make Gnus aware of MIME-capable backends, ie a backend function that fetched the MIME structure of the article, and then fetch the parts it want to display. I'm not sure which approach create the least amount of trouble with all caching stuff. OTOH I think the second approach is much closer to the Right Thing, so perhaps one should try that first. > Or if there is an `imap' URL standard somewhere, that would be even > better. RFC2192. This is what netscape uses, I think. -s
