Re: [Nmh-workers] Ordering of Parts by mhlist.

Hi David,

mhlist(1) doesn't mention order AFAICS.  Personally, I'd prefer the
email's order rather than add a layer of change for what seems
little gain.

I believe it's to convey the "order of preference" of RFC 1341, Sec.
7.2.3.  Given that, I think the order make sense.

Thanks for the reference.  I can see that makes sense when displaying
the parts, baring "the "best" type based on the user's... preferences",
but mhlist(1) says "list information about MIME messages" and I'm not so
sure it's intended by the RFC's authors then.  Perhaps it's just a
side-effect of the code intended for displaying the parts?

Cheers, Ralph.
