- By default, Rmail automatically decodes @acronym{MIME} (Multipurpose
-Internet Mail Extensions) messages. If the message contains multiple
-parts (@acronym{MIME} entities), each part is represented by a tagline
-in the Rmail buffer. The tagline summarizes the part's depth, index,
-and type, and may also contain a button for handling it, e.g. saving
-it to a file or displaying it as an image in the Rmail buffer.
+ If a message is in @acronym{MIME} (Multipurpose Internet Mail
+Extensions) format and contains multiple parts (@acronym{MIME}
+entities), Rmail displays each part with a @dfn{tagline}. The tagline
+summarizes the part's index, size, and content type. Depending on the
+content type, it may also contain one or more buttons; these perform
+actions such as saving the part into a file.
