Lars> Hm. Sounds like something qp-encododed the message. Did the Lars> headers say something about Content-Transfer-Encoding or the like? the headers on the part are: Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable mm-encode.el is definitely qp-encododing the message/rfc822 part on purpose. from mm-encode.el (defvar mm-content-transfer-encoding-defaults '(("text/.*" quoted-printable) ("message/rfc822" quoted-printable) ("application/emacs-lisp" 8bit) ("application/x-patch" 8bit) (".*" base64)) "Alist of regexps that match MIME types and their encodings.") i changed the message/rfc822 from quoted-printable to 8bit in the alist and forwarded the message to myself again. using 8bit, things worked like you would think that they would, ie, both gnus and metamail were able to render the message. but i still don't see what problem the quoted-printable content-transfer-encoding is causing. you should be able to reproduce this yourself by sending yourself a gif and then forwarding that message back to yourself... (pgnus-0.77). on a somewhat related point, why do we need to qp-encode text/.* and message/rfc822? shouldn't we really only have to quote an occurance of the boundary in the message text (which is quite unlikey anyway)? just curious. -l
