It was an old message, as the `Nope.' is not true anymore. By the way, Lars! Could we have something, I do not know, maybe like `C-u C-c C-a', that would say `Attach buffer: ' instead of `Attach file: '? With proper completion, of course? In case you are taking votes :-), I like the new effect of `S o m'. Agreed that Gnus may somewhat try to live with other broken MIME decoders, but there are limits to the ugliness, and Gnus is not to be responsible of everything around. Let users, a bit, pay the price of their (bad) choices. I find irritating, sometimes, when people feel they have to put on their own shoulders the problems of everybody around, and then, try to bring me with them in their descent. Broken MIME is just an example. The most common case for me is when French people try to be polite to those having broken mailers, by emasculating out diacritics. They are getting quite impolite to all people for which French is important, and their commiseration for amorph sites and people seems to step over everything. The responsibility and duty of the emitter is towards correctness and good right. If destruction has to happen, it should be at the receiving site, and the responsibility of the destruction identified at that point. The worse happens when the crap is produced at the emitter point: it is then forced on everybody, good guys included, and is difficult to later repair. MIME is not a perfect thing, yet in practice nowadays, it is the way to go. On the other hand, neither Gnus, nor Gnus users, should feel like they ought to cope, as emitters, with all possible aberrations of Outlook MIME. Outlook users should share the large part of the problems induced by their choice. I much hope that Lars will never dirty my own Gnus screen merely because Outlook exists. Lars' mission is not to repair the marriage between Microsoft and Outlook users. It pertains to Microsoft to do that :-). -- François Pinard mailto:pinard@iro.umontreal.ca Join the free Translation Project! http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
