Right, once I try to cook something up, modify gnus-dired-attach, but it never worked. >>> What is wrong with editing the tag?! >> But what if I don't know the type? > Then you'll have a hard time choosing it from an interactive list. This is why it is good to have a choice offered, as does mml-attach-file, So it would be good to have a function say mml-attach-change-type which acts on the TAG but offers what mml-attach-file offers. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Wouldn't it be even better to fix the problem at the root, gnus-dired-attach? Best regards, Adam -- "file://osv er en del af http fra ruder konges tid."

In your OP, you said you wanted to erroneously set the type, e.g. to application/octet-stream. Either you know what you want to set to (erroneously) or the problem is a more fundamental one in your mailcap settings? That is, if I misunderstood you and you in fact want to correct erroneous file types, the problem is not with mml-xxx but with your system's settings which mml uses to determine file types. -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xFFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.5.1 + Ma Gnus v0.14 + evil-git-ff74cfb : BBDB version 3.1.2 (2015-10-12 16:00:52+00:00) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Ok here is the longer story. It concerns Xemacs and GNU emacs, tex files and latin-1 and UTF-8 encoding. Xemacs 21.5.X still uses Mule, while GNU emacs has moved to UFT-8 internally as far as I know. Now the problem is the following: - I send a latex file with latin-1 chars, buffer coding is set to latin-1, via gnus as text/x-tex type to a Xemacs user: the coding is corrupted. - I send a latex file with latin-1 chars, buffer coding is set to UTF-8, via gnus as text/x-tex type to a Xemacs user: the coding is ok. Now - the user sends it back, but now it is the other way around: if he sends using buffer coding is set to latin-1 via gnus as text/x-tex type to me: the coding is ok - The user sends it back, buffer coding is set to UTF-8 via gnus as text/x-tex type me: the coding is corrupted. GNU emacs ---UTF8-> Xemacs OK Xemacs ---latin-1-> GNU emacs ok The problem can be circumvent using application/octet-stream then both buffer codings are fine. But I don't want that for every latex file. That is why I want to be able to change the mml type, in case I made a mistake, or using the dired function (since this much more comfortable to use) which would allow me to chose the coding Uwe Brauer ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Not many, probably only application/octet-stream, so doing it manually seems like the right solution... Anyway, good luck with your search for a solution! At least there's a possibility you'll achieve it as it's gnus+emacs and not something else :-) -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xFFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.5.1 + Ma Gnus v0.14 + evil-git-ff74cfb : BBDB version 3.1.2 (2015-10-12 16:00:52+00:00) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
