Re: Problems with multipart/mixed mime emails

Dear Erik

Thank you very much. Believe it or not, this has solved
my problem (bizarre, how I missed the existance of C-c C-v C-c ...).

Now, once I pressed C-c C-v C-c on the button I realised that there
were many sub-buttons (if that is the right word) hiding pdfs etc
which I can now open in emacs with
pdf-tools (for this I found a way of doing it at least).

If I may add, it would be really perfect if one could configure
Wanderlust to hide all mime buttons unless there is more than one, or
one that had children other than multipart/alternatives. I think mails
look prettier without mime buttons but then I don't know whether there
is an attachment or not. But that is not important, I admit.

I infer from Randy Bush's response to my question ( [ off list ] ...)
that this mailing list is not intended for questions such as
mine. Sorry, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks even more for answering it anyway.


Many thanks for solving my problem and best wishes,
Stephan
