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.
