Saving articles instead of showing them

Saving articles instead of showing them

[Tom Koelman]

Hi,

this is probably my punshment for trying Oort 0.05 instead of gnus
5.9, but I felt adventurous and, anyway. Sometimes an article doesn't
display, but oort asks me to 

Save MIME part to: 

E.g. I had this with Message-ID: <000c01c1a78d$aa4a2de0$022a2a0a@Haskell>

I hope someone knows what to do.

Tom

What is the content-type of the attachment?

The header says

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
	boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0009_01C1A796.0BA9B990"

but I think I already solved it. By looking through the ding archives
I found

(setq mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/richtext"))
(setq mm-automatic-display '("text/plain" "message/delivery-status"
"message/rfc822"))

which helped in this case, though I don't know what the
"message/delivery-status" and "message/rfc822" are.

Thanks,
Tom

message/delivery-status is a recent standard for attaching a request for
a delivery status notification, or something like that, to a message.
Apparently.

What it should, in theory, do is tell your mailer how to send a response
to the original sender telling them that the message was received,
viewed or whatever.


message/rfc822 is the MIME type of an email message in a part -- an
attached email, basically. They come with full headers and everything,
which is why they are good.
