I should have asked why nothing was displayed. In all cases thus far gnus has presented me with the text and a mime part to allow me to have the html rendered if so desired by w3m > Your example message has an _empty_ "text" alternative, along with a > non-empty "html" alternative, and Gnus is displaying the (empty) text > alternative (because you told it to with the above settings). The other > MUA you tried displayed the (non-empty) html alternative. But I wasn't presented with the Mime part to have rendered if so desired as in all cases up to now. Is there something more about the message that is causing that to happen? Or some other formulation for .gnus that would have caused something to be displayed?
