vcards in pgnus, kind of

vcards in pgnus, kind of

[Andrew J Cosgriff]

If you've got vcard.el[1] handy, this'll let you view people's vcard
thangs inline in PGnus.

However, I'm sure there's a better way of adding it all in, and Lars
dude, how do I make it automatically show the part (as opposed to
having to go and click on it first) ?  I kinda thought
mm-user-automatic-display was for this, but it didn't seem to be the
case...

Thanks for the patch; I've applied it to Pterodactyl Gnus v0.74.

I thought so, too...

I'll look into it.

Cool.
Will vcard.el become part of the gnus distribution?

Nope.  But I do think it should be included in the Emacs
distribution.  It does render the vcards is a most pleasing manner.

It does seem to do it, but since most vcards are marked as
attachments, they aren't displayed automatically.  How annoying.  Or
not.

Oh well.  I'll live :P

BTW, you'll probably want to mention somewhere in documentation-land
that one needs to (require 'vcard) before the code will work. etc.

No -- I've autoloaded the vcard functions.  :-)

Hm... it should be possible to override content-disposition based on
content-type for display, I think.

We can't change all the broken MUAs out there, so we might as well try 
to make things as visually pleasing for ourselves as we can.

That's why something like vcard.el exists in the first place,
innit...?

Yes; this is in 0.73.  `mm-attachment-override-types'.

Speaking of which, has anyone else observed MUA's that attach vcards as
MIME without MIME-ifying the rest of the message?  I've had at least one
message that was only a button to look at the person's vcard.  According to
the message header it came from MSIE (or was it Netscape?), but when I sent
myself a vcard message from that program it worked correctly.  Odd.

Now, will someone kindly mention where to find vcard.el?
