That reminds me. Does anyone know why, when I do mhshow -part 1 for
multipart/alternative messages, I typically get the following:
mhshow: don't know how to display any of the contents
(content multipart/alternative in message 49)
If I add a -form option (-form mhl.headers or -form mhl.null), it seems
to work. However, if I get a message of the following format, not even
the -form option can help.
msg part type/subtype size description
162 multipart/mixed 14K
1 multipart/alternative 14K
1.1 text/html 10K
1.2 text/plain 2602
2 text/plain 134
This typically occurs where a multipart/alternative message is sent to a
mailing list where the list server adds a signature (the final
text/plain).
I know that I can do stuff like -part 1.2 but it'd be nice to be able to
just do -part 1 and have it handle multipart/alternative in the normal
way. I've never liked the way nmh opens all attachments automatically
so I use '-part 1' in my script to have it just open the first part of
messages.
