[pgnus v0.66] Recursive MIME problem

[Jack Twilley]

Someone forwarded me a message that had a JPG in it.

The message I got had something like this in it:

[2. message/rfc822]...

So I put my point on it and hit 'e'.

Up came 'Viewing with mm-view-message', and the message came up in a
*mm* buffer.  I then went down to the message that looked like this:

[2. foo.jpg --- image/jpeg; foo.jpg]...

Put my point on it and hit 'e'.

I get the following traceback:
Signaling: (error "Command invoked outside of a Gnus article buffer")
  signal(error ("Command invoked outside of a Gnus article buffer"))
  error("Command invoked outside of a Gnus article buffer")
  gnus-article-check-buffer()
  gnus-mime-externalize-part()
* call-interactively(gnus-mime-externalize-part)

This kinda sucks.  Either message/rfc822's should be expanded into
article buffers (or inlined), or mm buffers should allow these
commands.

Whee. :-)  Thanks for the rant.

Jack.

You can type C-d on such a message, then easily look at the pictures
in there.

Doh.  I never thought of it as a digest.  That works beautifully
recursively.  Thanks.

I still think it's a bug that the other way doesn't work.

Thanks!

Er.  Yes.  The problem is that the Gnus article buffers really are,
er, nothing.  They need a summary buffer to function.  So perhaps a
summary buffer should be created as well...  or perhaps Gnus should
make it possible for proper article buffers to exists without summary
buffers.  Hm.  I think the latter would be nicest, but I don't know
how much work that would be, really...
