+\r
+First, the use of a plist looks fine to me because most of the time it's\r
+going to have length 0. At most it will have one entry per message -- a\r
+few hundred. So I'm not worried about efficiency concerns.\r

+Changing let to let* makes me the slightest bit uneasy, although I'm not\r
+sure I could explain why.\r
+\r
+It would be nice if you could wrap the manipulation of\r
+notmuch-show-message-multipart/alternative-display-part in functions,\r
+ideally with names that are shorter than the variable they\r
+manipulate. Specifically, I think the definition of chosen-nth (which is\r
+almost repeated below) could be its own function, something like\r
+(notmuch-show-message-current-multipart msg), which could take a msg-id\r
+or a plist and do the plist-get and id-to-query that you do here.\r

+\r
+Maybe move the reset-and-go-back-to-zero behavior to this function\r
+instead of in the display function. This opens you up to weird\r
+situations if one of the multipart/alternatives should disappear from a\r
+message or if some other function should change the alternative on\r
+display for a given message, but both of these seem unlikely to me..\r
