First, I got a an email with a Framemaker document as attachment. Once upon a time I wrote a perl script to which I can pipe such mails and attachments get printed. But with Gnus there's this tiny little problem that I can't pipe the mail as is. If I use | (i.e. gnus-summary-pipe-output), it doesn't pipe the attachment and if I right click on the attachment and select pipe to command, it decodes the attachment before piping it, which breaks my script and anyway, with multiple attachments it's too much work to pipe them one by one. Other problem is, I got a mail with this message on top: This message uses a character set that is not supported by the Internet Service. To view the original message content, open the attached message. If the text doesn't display correctly, save the attachment to disk, and then open it using a viewer that can display the original character set. <> That idiocy was probably done by Exchange. So I have an attachment with iso-8859-1 chars encoded to quoted-printable but content-type is "TEXT/PLAIN; charset=X-UNKNOWN". How do I fix that in Gnus? The mail in on the Exchange server and accessed through IMAP, so Gnus considers it read-only... So, any Gnus solutions to these things? I think there should definitely be a command to really pipe the complete article to a command. Gnus version I have is Oort snapshot from 20010110. Anssi Saari
