You seem to assume that the quoted-printable part is text. But it sometimes isn't; and then in some cases that part is base64-encoded, not quoted-printable encoded. One point for you. > So I would be very thank full if there were good solutions. For > example how do you do ? I described that in my message: I manually decode the relevant region, if I'm sure it's text I want to read. It shouldn't be hard to write a command for that, but I just never bothered enough. Fair enough. Hopefully with the help of rmime.el and etach.el, things are far less annoying than without. But it is still not perfect. Btw, I also use RMAIL and won't switch to Gnus. I just can't imagine doing so too ! I am totally addicted to it even with these major issues. Regards, -- Xavier
