On top of that it's encoding plain text in base64. There isn't much else Gnus can do with it other than give you the button and let you inline it if you think that's appropriate. If gnus automatically inlined all base64 encoded application/octet-stream messages you'd probably be pretty upset with it :-) -- Dave Goldberg Post: The Mitre Corporation\MS B325\202 Burlington Rd.\Bedford, MA 01730 Phone: 781-271-3887 Email: dsg@mitre.org
