Kurt, there is a variable called mm-alternative-precedence which tells Gnus which parts to show if there are alternatives. Obviously, the default setting is to show text/html over test/plain. To change this, put the following in your gnus-init-file (usually .gnus): (require 'mm-decode) (setq mm-alternative-precedence (cons "text/plain" (delete "text/plain" mm-alternative-precedence))) You don't really need to delete "text/plain", as Gnus just looks for the first match. I just think it looks prettier to only have one entry in the list. -- Jack Vinson http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~vinson/ Zippy: Okay, BARBRA STREISAND, I recognize you now!! Also EFREM ZIMBALIST, JUNIOR!!
