Are you saying that, from now on, there will be no way of saving an image found in the article buffer, without fiddling with `gnus-unbuttonized-mime-types'? Or of hiding the image from the buffer? Or of saving the textual types that happen not to be attachments? All this is bad news. I don't really buy into this equivalence of MIME and HTML that you people so like to stress. MIME simply provides a clean way of merging all these formats and a clean way of specifying how you want them shown; it is by no means the equivalent of a markup language. Saying "MIME is like HTML" is IMO missing the point of MIME. I agree that MIME should be seemlessly integrated into the Article buffer. But I don't see anything wrong with the current buttonized approach, especially if it were accompanied with a decent Summary-based viewing mode. -- Hrvoje Niksic | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Mix 2 table spoons sugar with 1 spoon salt.
