bug in gnus-summary-enter-digest-group

Hi,

when i press C-d on this message, i see the messages in a digest, but
i do not see this first text/plain part. I think that
gnus-summary-enter-digest-group should show the complete structure of
a MIME message, but it ignores some part(s), which looks like a bug.

Best,
v.

I see this summary buffer:

/----
|    [01-Jan,  0b: nobody         ] Topics
|    [12-Dec,  0b: someone@somewhe] subject 1
|    [12-Dec,  0b: someone@somewhe] subject 2
\----

Is it the `Topics' line that you were missing?  As you can see, I get
it.  Or is something else missing here?

No, the original message was of type multipart/mixed and contained the
text part with the description of a bug, then a multipart/digest part
with the digest. the digest contains three parts, -- topics, and two
messages.

What you see when you press C-d is the contents of the digest: topics
and two messages. But where is the first text/plain part with the
description of the bug?

Best,
v.

i'd like to add that perhaps i should have used M-C-d
(gnus-summary-read-document) instead of C-d
(gnus-summary-enter-digest-group). But neither of them shows the whole
MIME structure of the message.

Best,
v.

Ah.  Hm.  I didn't even think about this.  Hm.  Originally, `C-d' was
meant to look at digests, and only later was functionality added to it
to dissect arbitrary MIME messages.  But the primary purpose is still
to view digests.

For this definition, `C-d' is doing a good job on your message, isn't
it?

Does it help to `K b' the message to show more of the MIME structure?
(It doesn't appear to show nesting.)

But maybe it would be nice to have a command similar to `C-d' which
shows the MIME structure of a message.
