I'm using pgnus-0.58 and XEmacs 20.4.
When trying to decode a multipart article that contains one or more
text/plain parts, I got an error during the text/plain decoding.
Enclosed is a patch that fixes the problem, although I have a feeling
that this just masks a deeper error. Therefore, I'm posting this
patch to illustrate the problem, not necessarily to suggest a
solution.
It seems that in some (all?) cases of text/plain decoding within a
multipart message, the `mm-decode-string' function returns `nil'. I
hope that this patch sheds some light on this problem.

Sorry, I make a mistake in mm-decode-string. Fixed.
ChangeLog:
Tue Dec 1 00:15:36 1998 Shenghuo ZHU <zsh@cs.rochester.edu>
* mm-bodies.el (mm-decode-string): Return original string if not
decode.
