Hmm.  That all seemed okay to me[1], allowing for the fact I've set my
Gnus to prefer plain text to HTML.  If I select the text/html button
of the Alternative, I get the HTML drawn properly.  So your problem
must be either a regression in Gnus or a difference in our setups.

[1] with gnus-version = "Pterodactyl Gnus v0.95"

Here's what I get when I do C-d on your message above:

(I've trimmed the subject for line length reasons).  I can select any
of these parts and get the expected result.


A bug/feature report with this, though: citation highlighting is
applied to the text/html part after it's drawn by W3, stomping all
over the faces.  So I no longer know what's a hyperlink, for example.
Shouldn't citation and emphasis highlighting be applied as part of the
text/plain renderer instead?  (That would also speed rendering of
messages with huge binary attachments)
