My reasons are first what you said - easy, well known, handling of the parts (just like normal messages). You can delete them, move them, save them or whatever individually. Another benefit with #2 compared to to TM system, is that with TM-style viewing, if you get a mail with 10 images (which happens to me now and then), displaying the message is very slow and use a lot of resources. Viewing one image at a time, in a "attachment buffer" would be much nicer. Perhaps a combination of 1 and 2 would be the best. Viewing could be something like this: Normal: headers First part, if it's text. [ tm-style button 1 ] (left mouser -> view, right -> menu with view, save etc) [ tm-style button 2 ] [ tm-text inserted ] Bla bla bla Whether or not the text should be inserted could be configured with a variable (max-text-length, -1 = unlimited, nil or 0 = not auto-inserted). When you press C-d you get the new buffer with all the parts. I don't know ELISP very well, but it shouldn't be too much harder to add that TM stuff compared to just listing the entries, or? In any case, a combination would be nice, but if I had to "choose", I'd prefer the second alternative. I don't really like the third at all. One thing that would be nice is if the size of each attachment was listed in the "default page". -- [ Below is a random fortune, which is unrelated to the above message. ] No line available at 300 baud.
