Hi *,

from time to time I receive emails where the preview pane shows "there are no message parts that can be displayed directly" (or similar, my locale in non-english) and the details pane above shows no message parts.

The emails do have an HTML part in addition to the plain text part, which is shown when I select "more functions"->"all parts": The details pane then displays a tree with the root member "Alternative" with two sub-elements (plain text icon and HTML icon).

The message source shows both parts, the plain text part is empty.

As I have selected to display plain text rather than HTML, showing the "empty" message part is ok - but shouldn't there be a button to display the alternative part (I see that with other mixed messages)?

My crystal ball shows a blurry image of code that detects the empty plain text body and then stops processing with the "there are no parts that can be displayed directly" message, instead of continuing to where the alternative part is detected and producing the button to trigger its display.

The same problem surfaces when I double-click the message to display it in a separate window.

Should I open a bug for this? Or is this behavior wanted by design?

Regards,
Jens

PS: The probably relevant part of the message body looks like this:
