I'm running the crypto branch (from jrollins, available at
git://finestructure.net/notmuch ), which incorporates dme's multipart
MIME overhaul.

For me, messages from gmail users show up like this:

--------------------
[ multipart/alternative ]
[ text/plain ]
 blah blah


[ text/html (not shown) ]
--------------------

this is how i like it, though it appears i'm only able to save the
text/html part to a file, rather than force it through whatever html
renderer notmuch would otherwise use (even with M-x
notmuch-show-view-all-mime-parts, which surprises me a bit).
