My feeling is that Gnus should display the last alternative which it knows how to display correctly. If it has no way to display some necessary part of an alternative, then that alternative cannot be displayed correctly, and so, should be ignored (unless it is the only choice, of course). -- François Pinard mailto:pinard@iro.umontreal.ca Join the free Translation Project! http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
