Well, most HTML mails contain both the HTML as well as a plain text
representation of the contents, and then you can teach Gnus which one to
display.
,----[ C-h v mm-discouraged-alternatives RET ]
| mm-discouraged-alternatives is a variable defined in `mm-decode.el'.
| Its value is ("text/html" "text/richtext")
| Original value was nil
|
| Documentation:
| List of MIME types that are discouraged when viewing multipart/alternative.
| Viewing agents are supposed to view the last possible part of a message,
| as that is supposed to be the richest. However, users may prefer other
| types instead, and this list says what types are most unwanted. If,
| for instance, text/html parts are very unwanted, and text/richtext are
| somewhat unwanted, then the value of this variable should be set
| to:
|
| ("text/html" "text/richtext")
|
| Adding "image/.*" might also be useful. Spammers use it as the
| preferred part of multipart/alternative messages. See also
| `gnus-buttonized-mime-types', to which adding "multipart/alternative"
| enables you to choose manually one of two types those mails include.
`----
And with google groups which are a kind of hybrid between mailing list
and web forum, I think you can also specify on the server side that you
prefer to only get plain text (or HTML) mails.
Bye,
Tassilo
