My personal preference would be a new Emacs frame. Large images get attached to the messages already, and Gnus displays them inline just fine. I think when the disposition type is `inline' we should try to display it inline in the same article buffer if possible. Otherwise, it would be ok to display then in another buffer/frame like Gnus does when it calls an external program to display an attachment. > BTW, I have committed the reduction of dependencies in mailcap.el and > gnus-dired.el in Gnus. Thanks. Could you also look at the problem of moving mailcap.el and its related files out of Gnus? It seems an appropriate directory for them is `lisp/mail' or `lisp/net'. Do you see a better directory? -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
