I agree with you totally. The only bits that really makes sense in handling separately (by default) are attachments, really. Everything else is meant to be viewed as one complete, whole document -- just like HTML. So I'm defaulting gnus-unbuttonized-mime-types to (".*/.*"), which means that only the things that aren't displayed by default (either because they are attachments or because Gnus doesn't know how to display them) will be buttonized in 0.52. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
