It's not difficult to read a multipart message. As usual, just type ‘SPC’.
A multipart message is marked with ‘M’ on the left side of date as follows:
* 03/12 Hidenori Ohta This weekend |Let's go to StoneMagic M03/14 Momo-chan The pictures of Noto |Attached are the pictu 03/15 Neat Sumikawa Re: wine |OK. I vote for Wednesd |
When you type ‘SPC’ on the message marked with ‘M’, its header is displayed in Message mode. Then its multipart structure is displayed in Summary mode as follows:
* 03/12 Hidenori Ohta This weekend |Let's go to StoneMagic M03/14 Momo-chan The pictures of Noto |Attached are the pictu B 2 Image/Jpeg picture 1 noto1.jpg Q 3 Application/Postscript Note map map.ps 03/15 Neat Sumikawa Re: wine |OK. I vote for Wednesd |
If the first part is Text/, the first part is not displayed in Summary mode but the first part is displayed with its header in Message mode.
Each line of multipart consists of
Content-Description can be considered Subject: for each part. This format is very similar to that of the attachment region in Draft mode.
If you type ‘SPC’ or ‘n’, the cursor moves onto part 2 and the content is displayed according to its data type. For instance, Text/Plain is showed in Message mode and PostScript is visualized with "ghostview".
Please note that ‘n’ and ‘p’ move lines including multipart. To display the message below skipping multipart, type ‘C-un’. Likewise, to display the message above (not this message), input ‘C-up’.
Mew processes MIME recursively. The following example is a forwarded multipart message.

Note: We strongly recommend that you not embed any object other than text as a top level single part to a message directly. Instead, it is better to make a multipart message whose part 1 is a textual description of part 2 and part 2 is a non-text object.
A message which contains a single part other than text is displayed as multipart.
Since the syntax of MIME messages can be complex, it sometime takes a bit of time to analyze the syntax. However, Mew guesses the message to be read next and analyzes it beforehand while the user is reading the current message. Analyzed messages are temporarily cached.
To make it clear where the message ends, Mew displays the string "[End of message]" in the end of the message. At the end of each part, Mew displays the string "[Message is continued]". These strings are customized by ‘mew-end-of-message-string’ and ‘mew-end-of-part-string’, respectively.
