mm-get-part: Wrong type argument

[jidanni]

I put the cursor on the *

1.  ( ) text/plain          (*) multipart/related   

and hit o and give a filename, but get

mm-get-part: Wrong type argument: bufferp, #("multipart/related" 0 17
(boundary "----=_NextPart_000_DO_PHP523b081e98655" buffer #<buffer
*mm*-882208> from "noreply@couchsurfing.org" start nil))

gnus-version "Gnus v5.13"

This is one of many possible MIME structures that Gnus doesn't
support (yet?).  I have no idea about decoding and displaying
parts[1] contained in the alternative multipart/related part in
question.  But you can try `C-d' on the summary line, and you
will be able to see and save parts one by one.

[1] There may be two or more parts.
    Here is a MML example (you can paste it to a message body):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<#multipart type=alternative>
<#part type="text/plain" disposition=inline>
foo
<#/part>
<#multipart type=related>
<#part type="text/plain">
bar
<#/part>
<#part type="text/plain">
baz
<#/part>
<#/multipart>
<#/multipart>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Well, Gnus displays multipart/related fine if the first part of the
related is an HTML part.  And I don't think I've actually seen any other
use for multipart/related in the wild...
