When mshow renders a message, the numbering of structure markers differs from that shown by its list mode. This becomes a problem when browsing messages (i.e. using mless) and wanting to extract a specific attachment.
The discrepancy seems to arise from parts not rendered due to multipart/alternative preferences, as they are neither mentioned in the structure markers, nor counted. Perhaps they should be both mentioned and counted but not rendered?
