So, just "mhshow" does the right thing (parts 1.1.1 and part 2)
for me. It does seem odd that "-type text/plain" doesn't show
part 1.2. Esp. given that "-type text/html" does show part
1.1.1. But maybe it's due to trying too hard to obey
multipart/alternative. And maybe I'm catching up to your
thought process. But I still think that more than one part of a
multipart/alternative should never be shown, unless they are
requested by multiple -part switches.
okay. we're agreed that multiple -part options should override
"alternative". it wasn't at all clear to me that an
underspecified -type (i.e., "-type text") shouldn't do the same, but i
understand your reasoning.
for completeness, here's a case i didn't ask about. given my message 27:
msg part type/subtype size description
27 multipart/mixed 1534
1 multipart/alternative 845
1.1 text/enriched 33
1.2 text/html 295
1.3 text/plain 30
2 application/x-zip-compre 57 Dummy Attachment
what should "mhshow -type text/enriched -type text/plain" do? mh
currently just shows one of them. again, i feel it should show both,
but again, your (and ralph's) reasoning presumably says no.
