p0.12 errors out on 7bit,base64

[Karl Kleinpaste]

Pterodactyl Gnus v0.12
XEmacs 20.4 "Emerald" [Lucid] (i386-pc-linux) of Sun May 31 1998 on threepwood.idb.hist.no
200 news.jprc.com InterNetNews NNRP server INN 1.7.2 08-Dec-1997 ready (posting ok).

A recent message from Andrew Cosgriff (Message-Id:
<rui1zpw1xyl.fsf@goaway.cc.monash.edu.au>) caused p0.12 to choke:

Signaling: (error "Can't decode encoding 7bit, 7bit, base64")
  signal(error ("Can't decode encoding 7bit, 7bit, base64"))
  cerror("Can't decode encoding %s" 7bit\,\ 7bit\,\ base64)
  apply(cerror ("Can't decode encoding %s" 7bit\,\ 7bit\,\ base64))
  error("Can't decode encoding %s" 7bit\,\ 7bit\,\ base64)
  mm-decode-body(US-ASCII 7bit\,\ 7bit\,\ base64)
  gnus-article-decode-charset()
  run-hooks(gnus-article-decode-charset)
  apply(run-hooks gnus-article-decode-charset)
  gnus-run-hooks(gnus-article-display-hook)
  gnus-article-prepare(18074 nil)
  gnus-summary-display-article(18074)
  gnus-summary-next-page(nil)
  call-interactively(gnus-summary-next-page)

I thought perhaps there was a problem with there being two
"Content-Transfer-Encoding" headers, so I edited one of them out of
the message and tried again, but it errors out the same way with
"Can't decode encoding 7bit, base64".

My XEmacs 20.4 is the RedHat-contributed *rpm, mule-less.

Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.13.
