I received the following interesting message from Andrew. It was created by Gnus, it was read by Gnus -- this shouldn't break. But it does. Of course, the courtesy copy message near the beginning breaks the whole thing. I think the courtesy copy stuff should be ported to MML. FWIW, the news posting copy is fine -- it even includes correct MIME headers! Or was this fixed recently, so that Andrew should have used a 5.8.7 snapshot? kai -- I like BOTH kinds of music.
