inline JPG attachments not showing up in Emacs 21.104 and latest CVS Gnus

inline JPG attachments not showing up in Emacs 21.104 and latest CVS Gnus

[Ted Zlatanov]

I sent myself a message with about 20 images; 2 were jpegs and the
rest were gifs (my morning comics feed :)

The inline jpegs don't show up in the message (only a small square box
shows up), while the gifs work just fine.  This is with the Emacs
21.104 pretest and latest Gnus from CVS.  I thought I'd check here
before reporting it as a bug.

Thanks
Ted

Are jpegs too large? Check mm-inline-large-images.

Just to double-check, did jpegs work before?  If this is the first
time you've tried them, did you compile Emacs with jpeg support?

Otherwise, could you put the message up somewhere on the web, or
failing that, mail it to me?

I set the variable to t (it was nil), and it made no difference.

I can view the JPG image if I browse from dired.  Emacs was compiled
with jpeg support.

I'll send it to ShengHuo and Colin.

Thanks

When I looked at the message I realized the attachments were markes as
image/gif regardless of file type.  I notified the creator of those
attachments, and things should be back to normal.

Should Gnus perhaps be smarter about this, rather than believing the
attachment type?  image.jpg with a type of image/gif should probably
be examined to see if it's a gif or jpeg.  Regardless, thanks to
ShengHuo and Colin.

I had a question about the dired image mode - just do
(auto-image-file-mode 1) in your .emacs.  Then images will show up in
dired.

Thanks
Ted

Type `t' on the MIME button, or hit the right mouse button and choose
`View as type'.

oGnus (in GNU Emacs 21) is smarter now.
