This is just a guess, not knowing how a mime message is represented in memory.
Not sure how this works with recursive mime either.

A function that takes a list of the parse mime parts, and
returns an ordered list of the parts to display and how to
display them (display, button, or hide)...

This could be very powerful, allowing controlling the display
based on what is in each content.

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!
