I think I can now explain my position much better. Maybe my understanding of multipart is wrong, but I thought that each part is preceded by the delimiter and a few headers. Thus, the number of parts should be equal to the number of delimiters. Now, look at the following excerpt from a mail: ,----- (quite a few headers elided) | X-From-Line: vvv@vvv.vsu.ru Sun Feb 21 23:50:58 1999 | To: ding@gnus.org | Subject: one more example of weird highlighting (colouring) | MIME-Version: 1.0 | Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=-=-=" | From: Vladimir Volovich | Date: 22 Feb 1999 01:45:47 +0300 | | This is a MIME multipart message.

The `here it is again' part is a text/plain part, then there's a message/rfc822 part *and* a text/plain part for the stuff after the second delimiter. Why is that? IMO there should only be a message/rfc822 part and nothing else. I mean, it is nice that nndoc is very very pedantic. But exactly the pedanticness requirement would mean that it displayes two parts, not three, right? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, here. Please enlighten me. kai -- I like _b_o_t_h kinds of music.
