Pterodactyl Gnus and MIME attachments

Pterodactyl Gnus and MIME attachments

[Jochen_Hayek]

*Before* Pterodactyl Gnus started displaying MIME attachments that nice,
I could actually delete attachments (and quotations and ...)
from a message w/o any problem.

Nowadays (I'm currently using 0.40) the mail body gets deleted,
if I try do change it in edit mode and save it.

You probably understand, that sometimes it's so necessary
to delete huge attachments and the like, don't you?

Fixing article editing is something that will be done after MIME
composition has been figured out.

Sure, you have to assign priorities to tasks.
I understand that.

But some people keep sending me huge, I mean really huge attachments,
that I must get rid of, in order not to fill up my disk with garbage.

For now (and verly long) for the edit-mode
I would be glad to get the plain message with all its attachments as they are.
If I screw it up, it's my responsibility,
but I dealt with it properly before and it worked.

If you `C-u g' before editing, you should be able to edit the raw
article.
