   AFAICS the existing `rmail-mime' command (bound to the "v" key) in the
   current trunk handles this example just fine. (I did have to edit the
   example a bit, but I think that was just to extract it from the mail it
   was embedded in when sent to this list.)

   If it works for you I would like to close this bug.

I checked here too and it worked like a champ. I have other
examples where things go weird but I will report later.

I will close this bug.
