Doesn't always decode base64 ...

[Lee Willis]

Hmm, you probably won't like me for this Lars but I'm having an
intermittent problem displaying images under pgnus-0.31. The message was
mailed from the GIMP and pgnus correctly displays two buttons one for
the text part of the message and one for the image/gif.  The problem is
that sometimes when I click to display the image pgnus seems not to
base64 decode the buffer since xv is passed the base64 stuff that is
present in the raw message. Sometimes however it works and I'm sorry but
I haven't worked out yet what I do differently sometimes. I'll try and
work it out though ...

Anything you want me to check?

Cheers
Lee.

mm-display-external (in mm-decode.el) is the function that pushes
things off to xv.  Could you try edebugging that function and see what 
happens?

(Oops.  The external MIME things doesn't delete temporary files and
stuff.  Check your /tmp/emm* files for incriminating evidence.
Perhaps the functions (in addition to deleting the files) should also
use a private directory?)
