Just a data point: yesterday, after a bit of a hiatus I did a cvs update and got mm-decode.el 7.47 and just about all base64 encoded attachments became unsaveable. I run a MULE-enabled XEmacs 21.4.19 on cygwin. I'm not at work at the moment so can't provide the exact configuration. I guessed (apparently correctly) that the issue was with mm-decode.el and backed out to 7.46 and the problem has gone away. -- Dave Goldberg david.goldberg6@verizon.net
