And FWIW, Gnus users can make sure they don't see the html parts of multipart/alternative messages sent by Gmail by setting the variable mm-discouraged-alternatives or by converting the html to text via mm-text-html-renderer. This doesn't fix the underlying problem of Gmail users sending multipart messages, but it at least makes the emails readable. Best, Matt
