+\r
+"notmuch part --part=2 id:k74hf87df.fsf@fish.org" support is pushed now\r
+and notmuch-show.el updated to use it.\r
+\r
+An attempt is made to inline all parts, including guessing the type of\r
+application/octet-stream parts using mailcap (so a file called\r
+"foo.patch" sent as type application/octet-stream will be displayed\r
+using diff-mode formatting).\r
+\r
+Image inlining doesn't work, even for simple image/jpeg attachments. I'm\r
+still puzzling over this - the output from 'notmuch part' seems fine,\r
+but the lisp code to generate the image and insert it at the right place\r
+is broken.\r
+\r
+Inline images in HTML are also likely problematic - I'm not sure that I\r
+have the framework in place for handling images specified using the cid:\r
+prefix.\r
+\r
+Next is to fix images and persuade notmuch to be more verbose about the\r
+detailed MIME structure of messages.\r
+\r
+As always, feedback (especially if something breaks) appreciated.\r
