Incorrect behaviour with MML and Gcc:?

Incorrect behaviour with MML and Gcc:?

[Nathan Williams]

        I recently switched to pgnus 0.84 from a release version so
that I could use all the great new MIME goop. While it mostly works
well, I've found the following problematic situation: If I compose a
MML-based message and keep a copy with the Gcc: header, the copy that
is kept is the pre-translated MML, not the actual MIME text. This is
mostly a problem with attachments, since the actual file I told it to
insert may not have been one I planned to keep outside of my mailbox. 

        I'm not up on the zen of MML and MIME in Gnus, so I'd
appreciate other people's sense of whether this is a bug.

Right now, MML does not get expanded when doing Gcc.  This is a bug.
You can go a few versions back, or you can use Bcc as a workaround
until the bug is fixed.

I have tried to find the problem, but failed.  I compared a version
which worked (0.78? I forget) with a 0.84 but couldn't see any
differences pertaining to this problem.  :-(

Right, and one that was introduced in Pgnus 0.84.  I've reported it to
Lars some time ago.

I think 0.83 worked right, but I'm not 100% sure.

I've added mml-to-mime to the end of message-send-hook.  It doesn't
seem to have broken anything yet, but I'm not sure it's really the
right solution.

Oh, and I considered it a feature.  I do like that attachments are no
longer stored in my outgoing mail archive automatically. ;)

Yes, but when you say 'hmmmm... I know I sent that sample code to
so-and-so last month' and go to look for it in your archives, you are
screwed. :)
