Hi,
My .mh_profile has `mhshow: -prefer text/plain', but nothing for mhlist.
I recently read this `Apple Mail' email with mhshow, read the
plain/text, and it wasn't apparent to me there were images too.
$ mhlist -nov
msg part type/subtype size description
32753 multipart/alternative 6185K
1 multipart/related 6184K
1.1 text/html 721
1.2 image/jpeg 2176K
1.3 image/jpeg 2401K
2 text/plain 134
$
My -prefer is re-ordering parts 1 and 2, as I can show with mhlist.
$ mhlist -nov -prefer text/plain
msg part type/subtype size description
32753 multipart/alternative 6185K
1 text/plain 134
2 multipart/related 6184K
2.1 text/html 721
2.2 image/jpeg 2176K
2.3 image/jpeg 2401K
$
Typically, the text/plain and text/html are children of the same
multipart/alternative, but here Apple thinks text/plain means images
aren't required. Perhaps revenge for my never having purchased an Apple
product.
I can select the text/html in this case with
$ mhlist -nov -prefer text/plain -prefer multipart/related
msg part type/subtype size description
32753 multipart/alternative 6185K
1 multipart/related 6184K
1.1 text/html 721
1.2 image/jpeg 2176K
1.3 image/jpeg 2401K
2 text/plain 134
$
to specify my favourite last. That shows me the text/html and I get the
one-line summaries of the JPEGs so I know they're there.
nmh doesn't mention multipart/related AFAICS, saying all unknown
multipart are treated as multipart/mixed.
Any thoughts or suggestions as to how we should show text/plain and
summarise the two JPEGs?
