Attachment problems.

Attachment problems.

[Mattias Ahnberg]

I have some serious problems with my mailfolders. Someone forwarded a
mail to me, including another mail with all its headers, and after
that things have been messy++. Instead of showing the other mail as an
attachment with all there is in it, it does the following:

You can find my .gnus file at http://ahnberg.pp.se/ahnberg.gnus if
there could be something in there that could mess things up. Thanks
in advance.

  This is a new patch to fix the format string bug in userhost.
  All of the bugs mentioned in the packetstorm/vuln-dev posting
  so far appear to be the result of a client doing userhost in
  response to the mentioned events, not due to the events themselves.

If the mail is forwarded as message/rfc822, it is not an attachment.
It is shown inline.

Another possible problem is the MIME boundary is munged. It should be
"--ELM975106191-91841-0_" instead of "- --ELM975106191-91841-0_".

Your .gnus looks OK.
