[Bug 499742] Re: display default multipart/alternative method and show-alternatives

 

Hi Uday,

What I would like to do is be able to do is configure the multiple alternative to display
one mime type, but also include the buttons to display other mime types without doing a  vm-decode-mime-message.  For instance, I have in a common type of mail
messages is multipart/alternative with a plain text and a html version.  For instance:

   plain text, us-ascii                [Press RETURN to display text alternative]                      
   HTML, utf-8                         [Press RETURN to display text alternative]                      

I convert html  to text using lynx, so what I would like the display to
be is

  plain text, us-ascii                [Press RETURN to display text alternative]      
  <html page converted to text using lynx by default>

or maybe

  "plain text displayed by default"
  HTML, utf-8                         [Press RETURN to display text alternative]                      


I don't see a documented way of doing this.   Attached is a minimal vm.el file with my configuration.

Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Incomplete

Bug description:
vm 8.1.0-beta

Enhancement request:

Often get multipart/alternative mail, would normally like to display the text/plain version
by default, but sometimes this just indicates the mail is html, rather than being a ture
alternative format.

Would like to be able to both display the default and get the vm-mime-show-alternatives 
buttons to be able to show the other parts. 

Also vm-mime.el has some checks for vm-mime-show-alternatives being 'mixed, nowever this is not
documented in the info file.

thans!
