Here are some of the headers of a mail that both gnus and metamail
failed to grok as the sender intended them to, in the form I received
it. It was apparently an animated gif, before microsoft outlook,
majordomo, and whatever other mail-manglers mangled it got through
with it. I can forward the full message if anyone is interested in
looking at it.
I've had this problem before, and I'm not sure it's a gnus problem.
As maintainer of a majordomo mailing list, I get sent messages which
bounce because they exceed a (fairly small) length limit. I could
send them on, but I like to look at them before I do that, and I never
seem to be able to do that.
When I get the message, I see text that looks to me like mime headers,
but that doesn't seem to buttonize like mime headers in gnus, or to be
decoded into separate parts by "metamail -w". I never see anything
resembling a gif.
