I got a message off a mailing list which had MIME-Version and Content-Type headers, including a boundary="..." spec, but then there were no parts in the message containing that boundary. The result was that the message did not display at all. Also, not recognizing the nature of the problem at first, I tried `1 b' to render something I thought must be hidden, which threw this error: Signaling: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil) gnus-mime-display-alternative(nil nil (#) 1) (lambda (handles) (gnus-mime-display-alternative (quote nil) nil (quote ...) 1))(nil) gnus-article-press-button() gnus-article-view-part(1) call-interactively(gnus-article-view-part) Disregarding the error thrown, is this proper behavior in the MIME context, that the entire content be left unrendered in the absence of boundaries? E.g., given source for a message: ________________ From: nobody@no.where To: karl Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_000B_01BE1207.AEDC5960" Subject: MIME failure test Random junk here.
