Hm. Maybe the intuitive > people should just use `4 2 b' to display the message... I think so. But perhaps we have taken the two options to an extreme. The nndoc view of MIME is totally pedantic, and displays absolutely all information there is about a MIME multipart -- more information that anybody wants. The Gnus inline view of a MIME multipart goes overboard the other way, trying to hide all MIME-ness from the viewer, and presenting a purdy, seamless whole. I guess most other serious implementations that have been attempted (say, TM and SEMI, which are the only other two serious implementations I've seen (although my guess is that the VM implementation is probably quite serious, but I haven't seen that (and no, I don't think the Mozilla implementation is serious. Or the MSIE one))) have been somewhere in the middle of these two extremes, but I'm quite comfortable with the current Gnus situation. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
