Right. But that's not what the RFCs say that the reader should do. Anyway -- even though I don't like the buttons much, there may be an argument that it should be easy to handle MIME parts independently. One way would be to have commands like `o' and `|' (in the article buffer) work on the part under point -- if you place point on an image, it's fairly clear that you want to save that image; if you place point somewhere in the compilation error, you may want to save just the part that contains the compilation errors. However, the user must (I think) be given some visual clue as to where each parts starts (and stops). The buttons are too heavy, but can anyone come up with some other clue that would be less intrusive? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
