I'm a bit uncomfortable with the, er, lack of control given by the new 
buttonless MIME interface, but I think it's healthy to just let go and 
let things happen.  MIME messages now look like ordinary messages,
which is kinda boring -- which is how it should be, so that I can
concentrate on reading messages instead of studying their structure.

This is Gnus; of course we can have both jam and hunny.  (Hold the
bread.)  `gnus-unbuttonized-mime-types' is the variable to fiddle
with.
