In order to avoid this problem, I have just installed the following change: 2004-10-07 TSUCHIYA Masatoshi * gnus-art.el (gnus-mime-display-single): Call `mm-display-inline' instead of calling `mm-insert-inline', to decode text/* parts before displaying them. I, however, worry whether this change is appropriate or not, because there are several choices to fix this problem. The first choice is my proposal. The second choice is to call `mm-inline-text' instead of calling `mm-insert-inline'.
