You can just pass the mime to sprint:

julia> sprint(show, MIME("text/plain"), [1, 2, 3])
"3-element Vector{Int64}:\n 1\n 2\n 3"
julia> sprint(show, [1, 2, 3])
"[1, 2, 3]"

I usually use repr
the first argument to repr is the MIME

julia> repr("text/plain", [1, 2, 3])
"3-element Vector{Int64}:\n 1\n 2\n 3"
julia> repr([1, 2, 3])
"[1, 2, 3]"
