[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Here again gnus and e.g., lynx -dump or w3m -dump show almost entirely
different views of a HTML message.

This is getting just plain dangerous.

What if a HTML message said: Your fired!

Then down below it said "Unless you bring a box of cookies." But that
second line didn't get shown by gnus.

Anyway, gnus shows the <title> (Good!) and even a bonus alt= for the
image at the bottom.

However, gnus doesn't show lots of important text!

All gnus shows is
1.  (*) text/html
