Prefering plain text over html parts in multipart messages

Prefering plain text over html parts in multipart messages

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi,

how can I tell gnus to display the plain text part instead of the html
part in multipart messages by default?

Bye,

Sure. After investigating a bit further I found out that gnus displays
always the html part and omits the text part with the default values of
`mm-discouraged-alternatives' and `gnus-buttonized-mime-types'.

With

(setq mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/richtext" "text/enriched")
      gnus-buttonized-mime-types  '("multipart/signed" "multipart/alternative"))

I get the buttons and the text part is displayed by default.

Here's an example multipart mail.

Yes, at least the setting of `gnus-buttonized-mime-types'.

This should not happen.  Could you debug it or send the article
(private info removed) to ding as a gzipped attachment?

I think this is more or less the example from
(info "(emacs-mime)Display Customization"), isn't it?

BTW, I haven't forgotten your sticky article buffers patch.  I just
didn't have time to look into it yet.  Maybe you want to send a
reminder to ding if nothing happens within the next days.

Bye, Reiner.

Strange "text/html" is in it by default, but I have at least one article
with both html and text part where the html part is shown as default...

Anyway, this lead me to `gnus-buttonized-mime-types' which is a nice
feature.

Now I have

(setq mm-discouraged-alternatives
      '("text/html" "text/richtext" "text/enriched")
      gnus-buttonized-mime-types
      '("multipart/signed" "multipart/alternative"))

and the text part is displayed by default + mime buttons. Nice!

Bye,

I have got something to the tune of this, in my .gnus:

 (setq mm-discouraged-alternatives
       '("text/html" "text/richtext" "text/enriched"))
