A bug in gnus-mime-view-part-internally

Dear Gnus,

If you go to the attachment of this post and hit 'E', assuming that your
Gnus doesn't know how to handle mimetype "application/octet-stream", you
will then be prompted in minibuffer:

  View as MIME Type (default application/octet-stream):

Now if you press any key an error message will be displayed:

  Error in post-command-hook: (wrong-type-argument stringp (text/xml))

And the biggest inconvenience is that it does not do completing-reading
at all.

(defun text ()
  "这个是函数。"
  (do-nothing))

This is tested in No Gnus with latest check out.

HTH,

Fixed in both the trunk and the v5-10 branch.  Thanks.

The error is now gone. However, still a few problems.

  o  mimetype default to nil
  o  the number of completions are much less than in "K t"
     (gnus-article-view-part-as-type)

What do you think is a good default for a MIME type that Gnus
doesn't know?  Isn't `none' the best candidate?

The `E' command (gnus-mime-view-part-internally) on the button
does the same.  Those commands, that are for displaying internally
a part, use a filter which excludes types with which Gnus doesn't
work.

Ah, right. Sorry for that stupid question. This does make more sense.
