It's what most users have come to expect. Maybe, but are you bearing in mind that pgnus currently defaults to sending attachments with a disposition of "attachment" as do a large number of clients so these should *not* be displayed inline even if the reader is capable of doing so. The only things that should be shown inline are those that have a disposition of inline.[1] > * Notwithstanding the previous item and the coolness of Lars' > presentation, I'm not sure I like handing html parts to W3 as a > default.

W3 flies on Demeter, but that's not > exactly a fair test yet. Me neither, it doesn't really fly on mine so I like to default to text/plain when it's there. I do feel that it is *correct* to default in normal circumstances to the most advanced version (ie quite often text/html). With this is mind there hould probably be a mention in the manual about the following code, if there wasn't already (Posted on this list a while ago by David Goldberg who it seems has contributed a large portion of my .gnus!) --=-=-= Content-Type: application/emacs-lisp; name=gnusexcerpt Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=gnusexcerpt Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Description: .gnus excerpt ;; Courtesy of David S.

I think we need a pgnus MIME FAQ with all the commonly asked questions like : * How do I make pgnus use MIME * What needs to change in my .gnus * How do I show text/plain instead of text/html (See above!) * How do I get w3 not to munge my colours etc. etc. etc. 2p worth ;) Lee. -- I was doing object-oriented assembly at 1 year old ...
