For the multipart/mixed, Netscape drew lines between each part, and even centered the image/jpeg part. For the multipart/alternative, it didn't even indicate that it was such a message, it just displayed the image/jpeg part (centered). Trés weird, in my opinion, to go so overboard on the multipart/mixed and so minimal on the multipart/alternative. Hm. Could you edit the "MIME Test One" message to have a "Content-Disposition: inline" header in the image/jpeg part to see if that makes any difference? Eudora didn't attempt to display the multipart/mixed image part, but just drew an icon and said "MimeAttachment" (sic). Could you try with that Content-Disposition thing with Eudora as well? It didn't understand multipart/alternative at all. PC-Pine listed a "menu" after the headers, which was an OK way for a text-based reader to do it. The menu said what all the parts were, and whether they were shown or not. So, does anyone here have access to some Microsoft mail reader? It might be fun to see what it does. And what does VM do? And surely there must be some MIME-aware unixoid mail/newsreader out there... knews? xrn? trn? slrn? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 52+ messages in thread

That was pretty pathetic, even taking into account how badly their products usually are. To summarize, it shows the first part of a multipart/mixed inline, and the rest are attachments. Even the other text/plain part. Quite amazing. The multipart/altenative only showed the text/enriched part, and didn't indicate in any way that there were alternatives. And it didn't even render the text/enriched part correctly. Very interesting. > "Fun," he says. "`Fun'." Hm, "`«fun»'".

It might be a nice resource for MIME developers. Is that OK with everyone? I can copy the pages over to me if there's any problem with keeping these permanently at your sites... More test results, please. :-) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 52+ messages in thread

Even the other text/plain part. It occurred to me that there's one notable deficiency in Gnus' handling of multipart/mixed in test one: If it's being displayed on an ordinary terminal, the image/jpeg gets lost, without any indication that Gnus was unable to display it. This is no better than OE's failure to note 2 parts' elision in multipart/alternative. Example screenshot follows. It would be good if a buttonized indicator was substituted for the image in the absence of a window system, so it could be saved or displayed elsehow. begin 644 mime-no-image.gif M1TE&.#=A]P$$`O<```````!D`%A<6+B\N/C\^'@O`0(4`$`(`/A0$R_T`!3_ M``B_`#`%`3YU`!0"``A``.2TV#8X-A04%`@("+O0_$#S\A3__T"_OWP$W.X` M\AD`_T``OWR$)V!<>!`*`@A`0$3X^/4O+_\4%+\("/#X,/0O/K1$W$P^-D`( M"$0;#_6V-_\`%+\`"'P$,&``/A``%`@`"'L$-F``@1```@P`0`#X?0`O```4 M```(`'P$#>X``!D``$```'SX>F`O`!`4``@(`(2,)%ST-PK_%$"_"&$%.'-U M\P4"_T!`OP,$0@``:@``!P``""CX-C8O@104`@@(0%P$?0(``(3X#5PO``H4 M`!BD>O7T`/__`+^_`.D%+'QU-P4"%$!`"+CP.#4V\Q04_P@(OR@D=#;T:A3_ M!PB_"%P$^`(`+P``%(2$@UQ<``H*0$!`!D3X,/4O/MCX?>PO``,4`+A$$#4^ M`!04`"@;>S:V`!0```@``(`$$O4``/\``+\``"'X#4`O``@4`)S41$?T\PS_ M_PB_OP`%-@!U<0`"!P!`"/0D'/4W7_\4$PA4`:#T`"S_`$"_```$B@``L0`` M$%B$5/5<\_\*_[]`OQ;X/>PO90,4!_#XT/4O7/1$H/4^^/\4_[\(OP@`5*`` M]BP`_P`P8P#\?``9!1<!#8(```<```@#`*```"P```$$H```^```_P``OP`$ MH`#XQ`$O]0`4_P`(OP`$`&[X```<``#U``#_``"_```%``!U`/\"`+]``"/` MH`$V^'RD,`#T_`#_&0"_0``G`0!X```"``!``(2L;#GT-P#_%`"_"`PG,`AX M/@`"%(3X`0`P`P`^``"\!`#T`&$G^'-X+P`````````````````````````` M```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M`````````````````````"P`````]P$$`@`(_@`)"!Q(L"!!`083*ES(L*'# MAQ`C2IQ(L:+%BQ@S:MS(L:/'CR`?(JPHH*3)DRA3JES)LJ7+ES!CRIQ)LZ;- MFSASZMS)LZ?/GT"#"D4I<&1$HR&3*EW*M*G3IU"C2O6(5.3$J@Y'8F58<JK7 MKV##BAU+MFS6K0N['D6K4.W(`7#CRI6K=J[=NWCSZMW+MZ_?OX`#"QY,N+#A MPX@3*U[,F''=OH_Y1M[K5J#?R8TS:][,^3```'`_$Q;=.2[ITJA3JU:,.6]K MO*_O5B9P^>WJV[AS>P8]^'1IW[J#"U<=VV[QN8_3PIU=V_+PY]`'@/X\_31U MWM*IFQ9=/73WZ]Z!_H?GS1T[^.SHSV>WKAW]7/7GJ\N/3O_Y<;JV)=NF+7NY M5N?Z`5C?@*F19F!WZ9'W77G>N7=@@W(]J!V#"5ZGH(,(4KA=@Q)>Z!Z!(*)V M7UPC^N<<?\:92,!;#0DP0(DAQMB;AQ26AQV&.#Z(8X0W[KAA>\#I^&./05ZH MHW@R)HD8C)@-Y")^)\*F(HMZN0BCDECJ=:1\[:T'88T9*J@>A!MB.*%Y1-(( M7I'O&:EFEG`:UMJ*QN4'%W]/DKB?E"_^1QN*_5T9YZ`[:MAFF#F^B1>;"7*( M9IN.1LHCI(WZ2.BEE-EY9YYZ"C@`GLCMV5^?15FV8DND`HKIJI,F*BF#_F=Z MV>&;';Z*H*N5@HFKKA^RZFNGJKJFZ:F<IGHGG\Q!INFOF&XYWG;LN1KM>H]2 M^Z68UD*+)GM<7LNMHD@R>RF3R\(F:HJIEBN;NN*V&UBX[L8K;W/!FNNIL%&.

Only if there is a $DISPLAY available. But there are those of us who expressly don't want things like xv invoked when we're wire-wise a long (slow) way from where Gnus executes, and that's why we use xterm and ssh rather displaying under X directly in the first place. Some indicator of the non-displayed images (or, generally, unrendered parts) must be visible. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 52+ messages in thread

No X11 involved. Not the point.

That's what emime does, and what section 5.1.4 of RFC 2046 suggests: Systems should recognize that the content of the various parts are interchangeable. Systems should choose the "best" type based on the local environment and references, in some cases even through user interaction. As with "multipart/mixed", the order of body parts is significant. In this case, the alternatives appear in an order of increasing faithfulness to the original content. In general, the best choice is the LAST part of a type supported by the recipient system's local environment.

The trouble is that you can almost always say that, with the sentence seemingly making sense. But I believe that in this case we are talking about more than mere difference in taste. Not only do I want to be able to choose between the alternatives, but I want to *know* that what I'm getting is an alternative. > > or to choose those alternatives on the fly as we examine a given > > message, for those of us who want that ability. > > Yes, Gnus should indeed offer some MIME debugging features. Yet, by > default, this should not become any encumbrance for the real thing. Labeling ability to choose between the alternative parts as ``debugging'' to make it less appealing to our current implementor is a dirty word trick. Even rfc2046 allows the option of user-interaction when selecting the alternative: 5.1.4. Alternative Subtype The "multipart/alternative" type is syntactically identical to "multipart/mixed", but the semantics are different. In particular, each of the body parts is an "alternative" version of the same information. Systems should recognize that the content of the various parts are interchangeable. Systems should choose the "best" type based on the local environment and references, in some cases even through user ^^^^ interaction. As with "multipart/mixed", the order of body parts is ^^^^^^^^^^^ significant. In this case, the alternatives appear in an order of increasing faithfulness to the original content. In general, the The "user-interaction" possibility can, of course, be understood differently, but I think that what Gnus did up to recently was close to the spirit of text -- choose what it thinks is best, and present the rest of the options to the user. If I receive HTML junk, and must press `K b' in order to check whether there are perhaps some alternatives to the junk (because HTML looks ugly in W3[1]), then something must be wrong.

On the other hand, too much irrelevant information leads to problems with grasping what you're presented with. Take this message, for instance -- what information has been hidden, and what is shown? I'd guess that most people would not want to see all the Received headers, and the Message-ID header is probably not very interesting. But how about the From header? It's probably displayed in the summary lines. And the Subject? The same. How about the Date? Is that interesting? The X-Newsreader line? The Organization? When was the last time you actually found that header useful? Gnus defaults to showing things only that we think is pertinent to a fulfilling reading experience. This is not a science, and we find these things out by using them for a while and seeing how comfortable we are with them. (The other important thing is that it must be easy to have Gnus present you with the full information when necessary. Sometimes I want to read Received lines, so I use `C-u g' or `t'.

Ungh! I hate the "permanent" toggles in Gnus (yes, I hated the old `M-t' behaviour too.) It's perhaps a matter of taste, but I feel cheated when pressing M-t to see the buttons results in all the subsequent message being silently buttonized.

I'm no big fan of those types of commands, but that was how the old `M-t' used, and many people liked how it worked.

The "right" or "wrong" defaults are obviously subjective. Having said that, I really do wish there were an indication of the existence of choice for multipart/alternative.

Well, Gnus now displays "(2 parts)" if there are two MIME parts in the buffer, so that would be a clue. It the user wants to see what that really is, then `M-t' is available. But normally (as in 99% of the cases), the user doesn't want to see what it really is. A multipart/alternative, for instance, is virtually excusively used for sending a text/plain and a text/not-very-plain part, and Gnus will display the part that is "nicest". In the text/plain and image/jpeg case (which is not the normal case), the user may very well want to see the textual version. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 52+ messages in thread

If HTML looks ugly, you perceive it as some kind of a bug, and `K b' is a way around that bug. We are still in the realm of debugging. If you could just inform Gnus that W3 rendering does not interest you, then Gnus could automatically use the alternative to select something you like more. Best would be to improve the HTML renderer, of course.

Yes, but in other circumstances I may want to see the HTML, or whatever other choices the sender provided. So I don't perceive defaulting to HTML as a bug. If anything is a bug, it's choosing one alternative and not providing a way to know of existence of others. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Unspeakable horrors from outer space paralyze the living and resurrect the dead! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 52+ messages in thread
