[dev] Hiding Parts

[Scott Martin]

Forgive me for digressing below, because the point I made is not exactly how
I feel. I am not in favor of hiding one's mail either. I am only in favor of
eliminating multipart/alternative from the parts section to "clean up" the
interface. Here's an example: I'm looking at a message right now with IMP
that has 3 parts, a "multipart/alternative", a "text/html" and a
"text/plain". I find that showing the "multipart/alternative" junks up the
interface and servers no practical purpose except to confuse "Joe User"
because he says, "I can view the 'text/plain'. I can view the 'text/html',
but what the heck is this "multipart/alternative" for!?" Anyway, I can live
without the change. I just wanted to make the suggestion.
