Here the magic word "attachment" is not indexed in this part of the manual. After reading it more carefully I don't know if this is a problem of the documentation (a simple "@cindex attachments" would fix it) or a problem of `o' not really being designed for the purpose of saving attachments (but which _can_ do it, eventually.)

AFAIU the same index entry cannot point both to "Saving Articles" and "MIME" because "Emacs-MIME" is a separate manual. So we can have two "@cindex attachments" but it won't really be the same... and `i' in one of the two manuals will just jump to the entries defined in *this* manual. > That way a 's' would find it just like 'i' does.

Sorry, my bad. I confused the `o' for saving an article from the summary buffer and the `o' for saving a MIME part. But there is still something confusing: while searching for the index key "attachment" from the Gnus manual, you find these sections: 3.19 MIME Commands 8.21.1 Dired 5.5 Archived Messages But isn't the most relevant section "Using MIME"? Same when you search for "attachment" with `s'. Strangely enough, the "Using MIME" section doesn't have any occurrence of the word attachment. I guess it might be worth being a bit more explicit here... -- Bastien ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread
