I find it highly confusing that the visible buttons have > non-contiguous numbers, like 2, 3, 8, 15, ... Yes, but. Even though some parts may not have their numbers shown, you can still do actions on them. To take a common example -- if you get a message with one GIF attachment, the text bits will be part 1, so you can say `1 K o' to save the text bits. When we do the user-customizable part decoration thing, then it will also be possible to see where parts start, even if they don't have buttons. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
