Hi Paul,
msg part type/subtype size description
27 multipart/mixed 5902
1 multipart/alternative 5213
1.1 text/enriched 33
1.2 text/html 4548
1.3 text/plain 145
2 application/x-zip-compre 57 Dummy Attachment
but what should "mhshow -type text" do, where the subtype is
unspecified?
Show me just one text/* part of each alternative, i.e. 1.1 if nmh hasn't
developed a way to say text/plain trumps text/enriched yet.
my feeling is that the latter behavior is correct, and that specifying
the type should override the "alternative" property of the multipart.
No, I'm just saying I want text and not PDFs or images in this pass.
Not that I want to see the (probably very similar) text in triplicate.
Perhaps an `-allalternatives' switch would give your behaviour, for when
I want to see if all three are indeed triplicates or whether their
text/plain is just a `view it online' one-liner.
msg part type/subtype size description
7280 multipart/mixed 3645
1 multipart/alternative 3184
1.1 multipart/related 1867
1.1.1 text/html 1629
1.2 text/plain 1002
2 text/plain 127
in the case of this message, again, what should "mhshow -type text"
show? should it ignore the notion of "alternative" and show 1.1.1,
1.2, and 2? or should it show just one of 1.1.1 or 1.2?
1.1.1 and 2. Not 1.2 because 1.1.1 trumps it.
If 1.1.1 was image/png, then 1.2 instead of 1.1.1 because alternative
1.1 failed to show anything.
likewise, what should "mhshow -part 1.1.1 -part 1.2" show?
1.1.1 and 1.2. I think explicitly naming parts by their hierarchy means
you want exactly those and know what you're doing.
Cheers, Ralph.
