hello,
i can't display multipart MIME content properly :
"""
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

   Salut Damien,

   Je te présente XXXXXX, fondateur de la société ViaFrance
   qui plus qu’un client est aussi un bon pote.

   Est-ce que tu peux faire un bon prix sur du Edgecast et sans doute
   Cotendo dans un 2eme temps à l’usage.

   Le trafic est pas énorme car ce sera du débordement.

   Ca serait bien si nous pouvions démarrer semaine prochaine.

what is strange is that i don't have this bug within xemacs.
all other content-type all well displayed.
Damien,

It has a mutlipart/alternative with a text/plain part and text/html part.
My guess is that you are viewing the text/html part, using lynx to convert
it.

Can you try it with vm-mime-text/html-handler set to nil?

hello uday,
it worked setting vm-mime-text/html-handler to nil

thanks a lot :)
Damien,

It looks like VM received the utf-8 output from Lynx and inserted it into the Presentation buffer without conversion.

Is this another instance of the buffer-file-coding-system problem? Check the function vm-mime-display-internal-lynx-text/html and its cousins, which do shell-command-on-region.

Julian, you can probably help us with this bug?

[Julian Bradfield (jcb+vm)]

Try
(setq process-coding-system-alist
      (cons '("lynx" . utf-8) process-coding-system-alist))

Damien, are you still there? Have you tried Julian's recommended setting?
