Attach a file

[Carsten Mueller]

Hi all

Dumb Question but, how can i attach a file with gnus?
When i want to attach a file with M-m f then i get this Message:

"Containing expression ends prematuraly"

Whats wrong?
And when i attach a file with C-c C-x TAB then i send 2 messages but not
one.

I hope anyone can help me with this

In this case, can you set debug-on-error to t, repeat the action, and
post the backtrace?  M-x toggle-debug-on-error might work.

Hmm, this is strange.  I've created a file named ~/tstbftp.zip, added
the

 specifiers (sans the closing '>' in the first
case), and everything worked out right.  The only difference might be
the versions we run.  I use Oort Gnus v0.07 on a 21.5 (beta8)
"broccoli" XEmacs Lucid.

I think i know the problem. When i send an mail with an attachment then
it makes that:

,----
| type=3D"application/zip" filename=3D"~/tstbftp.zip" disposition=3D=
| attachment description=3Dtstbftp.zip>
`----

But i dont know why it inserts this "3D" after C-c C-c. Any reasons?

maximum performance, complete control, rock-solid stability, and you

Hum, but when i manual change this "3D" after C-c C-c and the Error then
i can attach the file and the mail goes out without any error.
How can i attach a file without Gnus add this "3D"?
