Exactly. >> Please see also [2] for the privacy issue. >> [2] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/162539 I don't understand the issues there. Any time I download a pdf file with my browser, it is saved somewhere on disk (/tmp, by default) and a viewer is launched. The browser does no clean-up, and doesn't even hide the file in a subdirectory of /tmp. Not to mention the cache of everything that I view that the browser stores in my home directory. With Gnus, every attachment that I view is potentially also stored locally on disk (e.g. if I use a backend that stores files locally), so why are we worried about another copy stored on disk, as long as it is readable only by the calling user? To me, the timer+deletion approach is ugly, unneeded and unreliable. At the very least, it should be made optional. Dan
