Evidently your expectations are in accord with common practice, but I'm not clear on why this practice is the norm. Is this part of the mime specs? And what about the case where the 'attachments' just happen to be text/plain also. Is there something in the mime specs which requires the 'attached' text/plain to be flagged in some way as different from the 'body' text/plain? > However the complaint was that > the text part was not *displayed* in the message pane, this I too would > consider a bug... After playing with Thunderbird I agree that pan violates the principle of least surprise, or at least differs from standard practice, and it should be fixed. Jim, do you want to file a bug report? (Otherwise I will file it.) And thanks to Per for a great mime lesson. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
