I pop-up the image of a cat riding a roomba, and by the time I bring my laptop over to my wife to impress her, all that eog displays is a blank image. It would save me a lot of embarrassment(*) if Gnus wouldn't delete the file until later. Especially with Katsumi's fancy delete-at-exit code, there doesn't seem to be much point in deleting the files using a timer... There are other programs which are used purely for viewing attachments which also choke when the file they are viewing disappears, and it's not unusual to need to spend a lot more than a minute reading a document. Dan (*) Or maybe you think the current behaviour is already saving me some embarrassment?
