Hi,

often in mailing lists served by majordomo, and in other situations
(gatewaying between fidonet and internet, etc) one can see messages
which do not contain content-type header (which was lost after
processing/gatewaying), but which were multipart/* before translation.

would it be possible to view these messages in gnus as if they were
normal multipart messages? maybe, adding some command which will try
to treat the message as such a broken mime message will be possible?

as far as i understand, such a comand should look for the first line
in the message body starting with regexp "^--[^ ]*$" and treat the
"[^ ]*$" part as a boundary. Perhaps, gnus should default to
multipart/mixed C-T for such messages.

	Best regards, -- Vladimir.
