Large *.pif base64 attachments and Gnus...

[Pavel@Janik.cz (Pavel Janík)]

Hi,

you probably see the same behaviour of our Outlook colleges sending us big
.doc.pif files ;-) I'm trying to save them to a file with `o' on the MIME
button. It is saved to file I specify, but it is not decoded. It is saved
as raw base64 data, no error message can be seen, no beep for normal
user. Only this can be seen in *Messages*:

Error while decoding: (error Invalid base64 data)
Wrote /tmp/tlm-doc.zip.pif

I can provide sample of course, but I think you have already received many
of them ;-)

I think that: 1. we should clearly warn user about base64 error.
              2. not save anything if there is an error.

What do you think?
