Can you give an insight into targeted behavior for 1.6 and what is your
"ideal" behavior look like?

In general, what I would like for 1.6 is:

- Not to invoke the pager for each MIME part.
- Internal use of iconv to convert to the proper character set.
- Not attempt to display parts with a disposition of "attachment".

Those a very good goals to improve daily nmh usage, also they're
reflecting my own view.

Last one looks to me like a low-hanging fruit. Seem all magic is done
in mhshowsbr.c:show_switch(), it has all power to (not to) display the
content.

What's your desired solution for it? From user-perspective - new switch
to mhshow, like -noshowattach? And from developer's one - another
parameter to show_switch() to decide whether or not to display the
attachment?
