Hi
Sometimes I by error want to sent a simple text file
but erroneously
as application/octet-stream instead of text/x-tex.
Can I change the content type before sending (I can of course edit the
attachment line but this is not what I mean)
thanks

I know that. What I meant is:
Suppose I filled in the prompts and later recognized that I chose the
wrong type, how can I change the type (without editing the TAG)

How about deleting the tag and attaching the file again?
What is wrong with editing the tag?!

Because than I have to type (may be) the whole path of the directory.
Usually I use gnus-dired-attach, but there I don't know how to chose the type
> What is wrong with editing the tag?!
But what if I don't know the type? The beauty of the interactive call is that it
offers various possibilities which I never remember by heart.

So the underlying problem is that gnus-dired-attach doesn't prompt you
for the type?

Then you'll have a hard time choosing it from an interactive list.

Right, once I try to cook something up, modify gnus-dired-attach, but it
never worked.

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.

Uhm, no.

Wouldn't it be even better to fix the problem at the root,
gnus-dired-attach?

I am confused. 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.

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

Okay, so I did understand your OP correctly. In this case, how many
different types of files will you want to set? 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
:-)
