Then I think that Gnus should get rid of the buttons for the > multipart/alternative as well. I'll default to that in 0.54. I've looked at the ChangeLog and seen the reference to new default alternative choice in mm-decode.el. I'd really, really, really prefer to retain the buttonized alternatives' visibility, as they had been up to this point, but I don't see, or perhaps just don't understand, how to use mm-alternative-precedence and mm-preferred-alternative to resurrect that previous behavior. At the moment, last week's "MIME Test Two" displays in 0.54 as badly (IMO) as in Outlook Express, showing only the image/jpeg without any indication that alternatives are even available. This is wrong, I am convinced. Default to a particular preference, sure; even default to not showing a selector for other alternatives; but please don't deny the ability even to learn that alternatives are available, or to choose those alternatives on the fly as we examine a given message, for those of us who want that ability.
