I get a MS Word document delivered to me as a MIME attachment, base64 encoded. I cursor down to the document and hit over the document. An *mm* buffer pops up with a bunch of binary garbage, I save it. It isn't a valid MS Word document. The problem here is that the *mm* buffer's coding system is undecided-dos (WinNT, remember). If I manually change the coding system in *mm* to "no-conversion," it saves fine. Is this a bug, or do I have to configure pgnus so application/msword is treated as a binary format? Also, if I mouse-2 click on the attachment, I get prompted for a filename just as if I hit . But, the Word doc gets saved in base64 -- not decoded. Is this the expected behavior? How can I make it decode before saving? -- matta
