[John Hein <xpqheqdvq4@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I occasionally would like this feature (the ability to view alternative
mime parts as buttons), too, when lynx -dump or w3m -dump doesn't do a
good job.  As a workaround, what I have done in the past is to edit the
message and change multipart/alternative to multipart/mixed.

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!
