Newsgroup and alt.binaries

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 594 bytes --]

Hi,

In my quest of discovering Usenet/Newsgroup, I tried to subscribe to
various alt.binaries.pictures. (no not sex oriented ones ;)) and each
time I enter in the article buffer that should contain a picture, I
have this:

,----
| begin 644 feb04.jpg
| M_]C_X``02D9)1@`!`@$`8`!@``#_[0$Z4&AO=&]S:&]P(#,N,``X0DE-`^T`
| M`````!``8`````$``0
| blah blah 
| `
| end
`----

Can anyone tell me what I should do to see the attachment correctly ?

Thanks.

Does yenc look exactly like uuencoded stuff?

It must be somewhere near the X u keybinding.  Maybe X U?

,----[ (info "(gnus)Oort Gnus") ]
|    * Single-part yenc encoded attachments can be decoded.
`----

But according to `yenc.el', the yenc starts with...

,----[ C-h v yenc-begin-line RET ]
| yenc-begin-line's value is "^=ybegin.*$"
| 
| Documentation:
| not documented as a variable.
| 
| Defined in `yenc'.
`----

The above could be uuencoded.

IIRC, the default is to show uuencoded stuff as a button.  Maybe you
have changed `gnus-article-emulate-mime' (to nil) or some of the other
related variables.

,----[ (info "(gnus)MIME Commands") ]
| `gnus-article-emulate-mime'
|      There are other, non-MIME encoding methods used.  The most common
|      is `uuencode', but yEncode is also getting to be popular.  If this
|      variable is non-`nil', Gnus will look in message bodies to see if
|      it finds these encodings, and if so, it'll run them through the
|      Gnus MIME machinery.  The default is `t'.
`----

See also the Emacs MIME manual (info "(emacs-mime)Non-MIME").

Bye, Reiner.

That's uuencoded text, which mm-uu should detect automatically.

Here's an example:

Obviously, it didn't :( What am I missing ?

At least kai's suggestion worked pretty well (X u).

AFAICT, this was not a yenc binary part (not beginning with ybegin).

Ah ? Thank you for the hint ;) I need to read more about that.

Hmm I have to correct this. What I meant was I don't want to leave Gnus
to show me the attachment but launch a process on the part and/or
automatically launch an external command onto it. But in any case I
wanted to save the mail and then launch, say uudeview, in a terminal.

It should work by default.  You haven't made any mm customizations?

Hmm, even setting `gnus-article-emulate-mime` to t didn't help. I may
have mm *mis* configurations ;) 

I am checking all mm settings.

Thank you anyway
