Thank you for your report.

This is not a bug, but a missing feature.  Rmail never supported
multipart email messages.  There's an effort to add this to Rmail in
the future, but for now, you will have to decode the base64-encoded
part manually, after typing `e' to make the message editable: mark the
encoded part, type "M-x base64-decode-region RET", then "C-c C-c", and
finally "M-x rmail-redecode-body RET utf-8 RET" to decode the text
into Emacs's internal character representation.

Thank you Eli. It worked perfectly.

Maybe we can tag this bug report as WISHLIST or similar ?

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.
