Seemingly I can do complex stuff but not simple things....
I get an email. It has a photo in it. The photo shows up as [cid],
which I can do various things to expand and make appear in-line.
How do I actually save the photo? "e" for extract is for mimes, right
click does nothing, etc.

,----[ (info "(gnus)MIME Commands") ]
| The following commands all understand the numerical prefix. For
| instance, `3 K v' means "view the third MIME part".
|
| `b'
| `K v'
| View the MIME part.
|
| `K o'
| Save the MIME part.
|
| `K O'
| Prompt for a file name, then save the MIME part and strip it from
| the article. The stripped MIME object will be referred via the
| message/external-body MIME type.
`----
In the menu, see Article -> Mime -> Multipart
Does that help?

I wound up doing "X m" - "extract all parts" - which then said "image/*"
as the default part description, and it dumped them all into a directory
of my choice.
K v etc didn't do the trick right away at least. Perhaps as gnus had
inlined the photos?

Maybe. Yeu could try to show the MIME buttons (`K b') and then hit `K
o' on the button for the image. Does that work?

On a related topic: I receive quoted-printable encoded HTML
mails (no multipart, i. e. "Content-Type: text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1" and "Content-Transfer-Encoding:
quoted-printable") from Google Alerts. How do I extract a
bunch of them to individual files in a target directory? In
principle, X m works for me, but requires manual confirma-
tion for every mail if used with M-&. What is the proper way
to handle MIME mails in elisp? gnus-summary-save-parts and
gnus-article-save-part look, ahem, very focused on user in-
teraction.

Does `gnus-prompt-before-saving' help?
,----[ (info "(gnus)Saving Articles") ]
| All these commands use the process/prefix convention (*note
| Process/Prefix::). If you save bunches of articles using these
| functions, you might get tired of being prompted for files to save each
| and every article in. The prompting action is controlled by the
| `gnus-prompt-before-saving' variable, which is `always' by default,
| giving you that excessive prompting action you know and loathe. If you
| set this variable to `t' instead, you'll be prompted just once for each
| series of articles you save. If you like to really have Gnus do all
| your thinking for you, you can even set this variable to `nil', which
| means that you will never be prompted for files to save articles in.
| Gnus will simply save all the articles in the default files.

Bye, Reiner.

Yes in the way that I didn't know about it before :-).
No as X m (without M-&!) shows a similar behaviour even
with gnus-prompt-before-saving set to 'always.
Big no as for example X m only allows a directory to spec-
ify and fills it with filenames of its own liking. But sup-
pose I'd like to take the image/jpeg or nth part to /dir1 as
nr.jpg and the image/html or mth part to /dir2 as
(nr^2).html and the application/pdf part to pipe to cmd3 -
well, basically I'd like to be able to do mail processing
without having to resort to Perl.

Maybe `K b' or `C-u K b' helps:
,----[ <f1> f gnus-summary-display-buttonized RET ]
| gnus-summary-display-buttonized [...] Lisp function in `gnus-sum.el'.
| (gnus-summary-display-buttonized &optional SHOW-ALL-PARTS)
|
| Display the current article buffer fully MIME-buttonized.
| If SHOW-ALL-PARTS (the prefix) is non-nil, all multipart/* parts are
| treated as multipart/mixed.
`----
`gnus-mime-display-multipart-related-as-mixed' ...
,----[ (info "(gnus)MIME Commands") ]
| `gnus-mime-display-multipart-related-as-mixed'
| Display "multipart/related" parts as "multipart/mixed".
|
| If displaying `text/html' is discouraged, see
| `mm-discouraged-alternatives', images or other material inside a
| "multipart/related" part might be overlooked when this variable is
| `nil'. *note Display Customization: (emacs-mime)Display
| Customization.
`----
... and `C-d':
,----[ <f1> f gnus-summary-enter-digest-group RET ]
| gnus-summary-enter-digest-group [...] Lisp function in `gnus-sum.el'.
| (gnus-summary-enter-digest-group &optional FORCE)
|
| Enter an nndoc group based on the current article.
| If FORCE, force a digest interpretation. If not, try
| to guess what the document format is.
