Ever since I made the switch to Linux for my main machine, I've been
having the problem that when I forward (gnus-summary-mail-forward) a
message that contains an attachment, the recipent gets a garbled
version of the original attachment.
I am using a CVS version of Emacs. I see this effect both with the
version of Gnus it ships with and with a CVS HEAD version of Gnus. I
have unfortunately been unable to test this with a release version
(21.4) of emacs; Gnus just won't start up for me in that version :(
I would really appreciate some help with this; it's becoming a major
productivity drain.
Thanks in advance,

Without *any* kind of information what is kind of problem the
"garbled" message/attachment has, it's next to impossible to help you.
You might send such a message to gmane.test or send us a gzipped mbox
of the received message. Be sure not to include private stuff.

In this article, you used Emacs 23 (CVS unicode branch; experimental).
Please try to reproduce the problem with Emacs 22 (CVS trunk or
pretest tarball).

Independent from the attachment problem, it might be worth to debug
this problem.
Bye, Reiner.

I will arrange such a test in a follow-up message.

I did it already with the HEAD of the CVS trunk and the result is the
same. I am having a very hard time figuring out which tags correspond
to various releases.

Yes, it might. But the other problem is more critical to me.

If Gnus cooperates, this message should include two enclosures: an
inline image (the Boost logo) and a forwarded email message. The
original email message being forwarded contained a copy of the same
image (inline), and it was received cleanly.

I can't see the second image with Gnus 5.11.

Right, that's the whole point. If you look at the raw text of the
message (`C-u g') you'll see two instances therein of the following:
Content-Type: image/png
Content-Disposition: inline; filename=boost.png
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
but the 2nd one is garbled so as to be invisible (in this case). In
more recent Gnusen you'll see an empty box where the image should be.

Was there insufficient information? Is there anything else I
should do?
