(setq mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html") ; We *hates* HTML, we does
      mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m                 ; A decent web browser...
      mm-inline-text-html-with-w3m-keymap nil    ; ... but not its keybindings
      mm-inline-text-html-with-images nil)       ; This is the default anyway

along with the customize variables:

 '(gnus-ignored-mime-types (quote ("text/x-vcard" "text/html")))
 '(gnus-show-mime t)


is the setting I picked up for gnus to do this.

Seems okay. Sometimes I get a blank email... It's not usually a problem.

(Mind you, gnus  configuration, there's a black art all by
itself. Anyone know how to get babyl file markup to propagate between
gnus and RMAIL?)

cheers, Rich
