The MIME stuff still needs more documentation, I think. I have a
couple of questions.
How do I get buttons for parts that are displayed inline?
Specifically, I often get patches sent as text/plain parts, which I'm
happy to have displayed inline, but I'd like a button so I can save
them easily.
How do I set things up so that message/external-body works sensibly?
For example, today I received a message with a message/external-body
(LOCAL-FILE), and the target was a Content-type: text/html. Gnus can
display text/html reasonably well, but clicking on the button didn't
do anything useful.
Also, when I edited the message and saved it again (and the MIME->MML
and MML->MIME stuff is very cool, BTW), everything worked OK except
that the bodypart of the message/external-body (containing the
Content-type and Content-ID) was base64 encoded, which is specifically
disallowed by rfc2046, so I suspect a bug in the MML processing, or at
least a poor default (by default, it ought to produce 7bit, even
though I can't imagine MUAs failing to cope with base64 in this
context).
