New MIME functionality

New MIME functionality

[Hrvoje Niksic]

I'm baffled by the new MIME functionality.  The buttons are showing up 
OK, but I see no way to do anything with them.  Pressing the right
mouse button doesn't do anything useful (all hail easymenu!), and
pressing button2 does something completely random; sometimes it hides
the attachment, sometimes it rearranges the stuff in the message,
sometimes it switches to the *Group* buffer (?), etc.

I can try to send out a more detailed report, but first I'd like to
know if it works for anyone else?

Lemme guess what Lars did.  If it's a multipart/mixed message and a
part is being shown inline (like text/plain), then clicking the button
hides/unhides the part.  If it's not inline, then clicking the button
`plays' (or views) the part.  If it's a multipart/alternative, then
clicking the button cycles through the alternatives.  Dunno if that's
right, though.

mouse-2 toggles showing the MIME part...  It works for me on parts
like image/gif and text/html.  Other parts may be a bit wonky still.
