Maybe this happens if people compose a multipart/alternative message where one alternative is a text/plain message (shown by Gnus) and the other alternative is multipart/mixed or multipart/related. You might like to try C-d on such a message to find out its MIME structure. Depending on the findings, it might be possible to tell Gnus to prefer the other alternative. Also note that Gnus will show "(2 parts)" in the modeline of the article buffer when you view the message. That way, you don't need to show the raw message to find out that there could be a problem. And then you just do C-d to extract whatever you like from the msg. Kai
