"disposition" is more or less a recommendation for the receiving agent how to display it. > Both rmailmm and Etach display some text parts inline, and they > don't need to see disposition=inline to do it. Neither does Gnus (and probably MH-E, too). Viewing inline vs. attachment can be toggled interactively or specified through `mm-inline-override-types'. In theory, that kind of recommendation might be useful. But in practice, since the readers decide heuristically whether to display inline, users mostly have no reason to go out of their way to offer a recommendation. It is better normally not to ask.
