I presume the best bet is automatically using the richest format possible in a given environment, or at least, have user options stating preferences. Manual intervention could be required to alter the choice (a bit like there are washing commands to alter presentation after the fact, even if these commands are hook-able), but I would not say that having such commands for selection among alternative MIME parts would make Gnus less interesting. All the contrary: it's better having a choice than none. Yet, selection among alternative parts should be automated by default. -- François Pinard mailto:pinard@iro.umontreal.ca Join the free Translation Project! http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
