bug in attaching messages

[Vladimir Volovich]

Hi!

In the previous message sent to ding list, the content-type of
attached message was incorrectly changed from text/html to text plain
by gnus!!

I.e. i attached a message via gnus-summary-mail-forward, and i saw the
content-type as text/html. But raw previewing (C-u M-m P) shows
text/plain!! And the same gets sent via C-c C-c.

What are the tricks with content-type which gnus performs?!  (note
that gnus must not touch content type of the attached mail, and also
note that there are lots of possible content types not just text/* ;)

Gnus also changed the content-transfer-encoding from 7bit to QP (and
encoded all ESCs in the body of attached message).

Best,
v.

I can not reproduce it. Was it OK before I changed
gnus-summary-mail-forward?

Could you post (or send me) the original message as attachment (not
forward)?

But there is also charset problem in the original message. If you
really want to forward the message untouched, use `2 C-x C-f'.

OK. Found and fixed.

BTW, is 0x1B really 7-bit in a encoded message?
