gnus mime external display question

[Gregory Chernov]

Hi,

I always wanted to read archived attachments (tar, zip etc.)
inside gnus/xemacs. Maybe I'm reinventing the wheel but
simplest way do it for me is to use gnuclient.
I added new type to mailcap-mime-data:

("gnuclient"
  (viewer . "gnuclient %s")
  (type   . "application/gnuclient")
  (test   . (eq (mm-device-type) 'x))
  ("needsx11"))


and now with "view as type" application/gnuclient
I can browse tar/zip attachments inside xemacs.

Only problem is when I close client, temporary files
/tmp/emm.* are not deleted. 

Maybe somebody who understands how external display 
in gnus is worked can help me with this problem or
at least say in which gnus files/functions I should
look to solve it.

When you select another article, the temporary files will be deleted.

This is exactly the problem. When I use external display on
images with xv, pdf's with acroread, etc. temporary files are deleted.
But when I use gnuclient as a viewer, temporary files stay 
even when I exit xemacs.

Fixed in oGnus v0.01.
