I actually use toggling function that alternates between the various
options.  

(defun vm-alternatives ()
  "Toggle MIME alternatives"
  (interactive)
  (cond ((eq vm-mime-alternative-select-method 'best-internal)
         (setq vm-mime-alternative-select-method 'best)
         (vm-scroll-forward)
         (message "Showing best alternatives"))
        ((eq vm-mime-alternative-select-method 'best)
         (setq vm-mime-alternative-select-method 'all)
         (vm-scroll-forward)
         (message "Showing all alternatives"))
        ((eq vm-mime-alternative-select-method 'all)
         (setq vm-mime-alternative-select-method 'best-internal)
         (vm-scroll-forward)
         (message "Showing best internal alternatives"))
        ))
