Hi,
I'm using pgnus 0.97 and I recently received a text attachment from a
friend. When I looked at the e-mail message, it showed no obvious
sign that it contained an attachment (pgnus displayed it inline).
Since I wanted to save the info for later reference, I had pgnus write
it out to a file for me. Later on, when I looked at it, I saw that it
contained an encoded attachment.
I have a couple of questions:
1) How can I save an attachment when it's been inlined by pgnus?
2) Is it possible to save both the mail message and inlined attachment
exactly as they look in pgnus (i.e. I want to save out the decoded
attachment text along with the message body, not the base-64
encoded data)? I suppose I could do this with write-file, but I
thought maybe pgnus handles this internally.
Thanks (and sorry if these are dumb questions, but I can't figure them
out),

Press `K b', and all the parts will be buttonized. Then you can use
the context-sensitive right-mouse popup menus to save the attachment,
or you can press `<number> K o'.

You can select the region and save it with `M-x write-region' or
something. Gnus doesn't handle that because it's very rarely needed.

"K b" produces buttons, and you can save from there.
What are the keys for saving and displaying attachments, though? I
always right-click on the buttons and use the menus, but more often
I'd rather use the keyboard; presumably this is possible, but how?

First, you should display the buttons 'K b'. Then press 'o' on the
button of the part you want to output.

If the attachment contains ASCII characters only, I think you can edit
('e') the message and immediately save it ('C-c C-c'). Then you can
output your message. If the attachment contains some international
characters, Gnus may re-encode it.

Ah, I see, said the blind man :) Thanks (everybody!) for the quick
answer.

You want to look at the mode line which shows something line ``(3
parts)'' as an indication for multipart messages.

Thanks, Kai. I just checked my modeline and noticed that wasn't
there, and then I remembered I had my article modeline slightly
tweaked from the default setting. No wonder I couldn't tell there was
an attachment...doh! I put it back to the default and it now tells me
there are two parts.
Oh well. "Operator error" as they say :)
