Also, is there a way to disable this mark? 

my setup defaults to the html and runs w3m (which works great, I've
long ago given up hoping people would stop sending html email
messages).

I can tell that it is multipart/alternative because I see the:

X-Mew: Text/Plain in Multipart/Alternative as a singlepart

header when I view the message. 

So I would like to disable showing the "-" mark if possible
