When sending JPEG or GIF files through C-c C-a, it appears they get
encoded as quoted-printable instead of base64.  A similar thread
(starting at MsgID <6w7lp55yc1.fsf@lucent.com>) seem to have the same
problem, though I can't see any solution was presented.  I tried setting
format-alist to nil, and also tried to use insert-file-contents-literally
as was suggested throughout the thread, but saw no difference.

As in the original thread, it only happens with jpeg/gif files, even if I
specify application/octet-stream for content-type.  It does not happen
with other binaries, even if I specify image/jpeg (or gif).

I'm running emacs-20.4.1 and pgnus-0.96.  This was working fine under
pgnus-0.80.  Any help and pointers are appreciated.

Bjorn.
