pgnus-0.33: multipart/mixed: usage of filename?

[Kai Grossjohann <grossjohann@amaunet.cs.uni-dortmund.de>]

Hi all,

our fax software sends me multipart/mixed messages where each fax page
is a part, with headers like so:

,-----
| Content-Type: image/g3n
| Content-Disposition: inline; filename="/var/spool/fax/incoming/fn608ec94ya-_-+49-231-7552130_.01"
| Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
`-----

After this header comes the fax itself, base64-encoded.  When wanting
to view this file, Emacs tells me:

,-----
| Opening output file: no such file or directory, /var/spool/fax/incoming/fn608ec94ya-_-+49-231-7552130_.01 [2 times]
`-----

It seems that Gnus tries to write into that file, but as the directory
doesn't exist (it's a directory name from our fax server), that's
bound to fail.

Shouldn't Gnus write the file in /tmp as usual, disregarding the
filename, when *viewing* such stuff?  I'd be happy with Gnus using the
filename as default when *saving* the stuff, but why is it used at all
for viewing?
