[PATCH] NEWS for emacs part visibility change

[Mark Walters]

---
Here is some news for the recent part visibility change. I am not
completely happy with the wording so please do read. In particular
should it mention how the user's preferred part is chosen
(notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged etc)?

Best wishes

Mark

  Each part of a multi-part MIME email can now be shown or hidden using
  the button at the top of each part (by pressing RET on it or by
  clicking).  For emails with multiple alternative formats (e.g., plain
  text and HTML), only the preferred format is shown initially, but
  other formats can be shown using their part buttons.  To control the
  behavior of this, see `notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` and
  `notmuch-show-all-multipart/alternative-parts`.

?  I intentionally downplayed
notmuch-show-all-multipart/alternative-parts relative to your
description because I would love for people to forget about that
setting so we can eventually drop it.

[PATCH] NEWS for emacs part visibility change

Wording suggested by Austin.

I have taken Austin's (excellent) wording and agree with the
downplaying of notmuch-show-all-multipart/alternative-parts.

Best wishes
