Hi Bill -

You can try:

(setq mime-image-format-alist nil)

in your ~/.emacs file (that is, *before* wl is loaded; ~/.wl does not
seem to work).

This may have some negative side-effects, but it seems to work.

The variable mime-preview-condition controls mime viewing. Setting
mime-image-format-alist to nil simply inhibits the population of the
mime-preview-condition with image/* mimetype information.

best,
Erik Hetzner
