of course I know this is SirCam. See the `;-)' at the end of sentence. The
thing I'm trying to solve on the list of Gnus developers is to fix the
apparent bug in Gnus which saves an article as plain base64 bytes without
decoding... Just try it yourself and tell me, if it works for you. I;d like
to really SEE the contents of the file they sent me...
