Then it isn't that bad, you can even make the time worthwhile to give the files better filenames that don't contain spaces... Not that you are not exactly downloading the file. You already have it when you have the mail to which it is attached. You just tell Gnus to put it somewhere on your filesystem - i.e., to extract it from the mail file. For example, I use nnml, so ever mail gets one file on my hard disk. In particular, they end up in ~/Mail/mail/misc - if I use ll ('ls -lh') there, I see that almost all mails are just a couple of Ks (3.3K, 6.8K, etc.) - but then I see some that are big: 2.4M, even 21M, and so on. Those are the mails witch attachments. If I use 'file' on such a file, it says it is just a bunch of ASCII. Nevertheless, with 'munpack -f 351' (if 351 is the name of the MIME mail) I can get all the encoded elements. [On Debian, you get munpack with 'sudo aptitude install mpack'; probably that works on the Ubuntus as well.] Try do the same. If it works that way, it should work from Gnus as well. > But when use web mail mail to send it, it behave > differently (just as what I describe at the first > article I post).
