I have to disagree with this. Some people will intentionally post digests as MIME messages, the same way that they would post normal message as MIME. We should be able to handle this correctly. As an example, you posted yours that way. I received it here through ding@ifi. Here are the relevent headers from the message: FAQ> Sender: steve@deanna.miranova.com FAQ> Subject: Gnus (Emacs Newsreader) FAQ FAQ> Message-ID: FAQ> Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.94) FAQ> X-Newsreader: Red Gnus v0.65/XEmacs 19.15 FAQ> Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable FAQ> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 FAQ> X-Content-Length: 47855 By the way, you have done a great job with the FAQ. I think that it probably should be sent in MIME. It is just that Gnus should insert the decoded article into " *gnus digest buffer*" rather than the original article. -- Colin
