Saying "MIME is like HTML" is IMO missing the > point of MIME. I'm not sure what to think. I think the proponents of MIME/HTML equivalence are correct in that this is closer to the original MIME idea. But I worry that this behaviour will make us incompatible with other MUAs that don't use the content-disposition header to tell us whether this is an inline mime type or an attachment. I think MIME-as markup may be workable, or maybe even the best behaviour if we have Content-Disposition: inline in the message parts. But I think Gnus should default to attachment behaviour, in the absense of content-disposition headers, because that's probably closer to what the composing MUA expects. IMHO, of course! - Steinar
