It's repeatable.  If I edit an article without first turning off Mime
(W-m) or using C-u g (thanks to Matt Simmons for that suggestion,
which is a better option IMO), the article buffer will contain the
text of tm's representation of the attachment rather than the
attachment itself.  If I subsequently save the buffer, I lose the
attachment -- all that's left is the text that looks like

[2 97PLAYr11.DOC <application/msword>]

which is from a real example I decided I didn't care about :-)
