But I kinda consider all that debugging info.  When I'm reading, I'm
reading, and I don't care about encoding, encryption, verification and
all that jazz.  Whether it's a fifteen-part HTML multipart/related, an
encrypted message/rfc822 or a plain text/plain, I just want to read
it.  Gnus should present it in a manner that pleasing to read by
default. 

If I'm interested in the details, we have `K b', and if I'm really
really interested, we have `C-d', and if I'm totally paranoid, we have
`C-u g'.  :-)

(Besides, the PGP messages have "p" in the mode line.  :-)
