Exactly.  This seems to be the most natural behavior.  That is, the mime
part is either displayed or there is a button.

I might be able to work on this when I get a little time
to wrap my head around the mime code.  I have always
found it a bit hard to follow.

Thanks

Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Triaged

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!
