Yeah. I think it's primarily meant to allow you to choose between all the possible registered viewers for a certain MIME type -- you're not supposed to write the command explicitly. (For that you have `|' and the like.) So I think it makes sense to have `v' allow auto-completion. > Maybe the best is to offer both: one command which says `view this > part normally but pretend it has a different content type' (this would > be useful for mails received from broken mailers which are unable to > supply a meaningful content type), A new command for viewing as a different media type sounds nice, but would that be useful? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
