Well, this may cause you inconvenience, especially when exchanging
messages with Gnus users.  Because Gnus users may expect others
who use Gnus not change such an option.  I'm not an exception.
I think the second one (i.e., using `mm-uu-configure-list') is
better for you.  Otherwise, to use another pattern that does not
conflict with Gnus' default is much better if it is possible.
For instance:

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --%<-- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

You can verify how your message will be seen by Gnus users before
sending, by typing the `C-c C-m P' command in the message buffer.

I ran the `C-c M-m' command (in the message buffer) on those two
Lisp snippets to surround them with `-cut here-' lines.  Those
lines will not appear in the Gnus article buffer if
`gnus-article-emulate-mime' is non-nil.  Moreover the Lisp codes
will be highlighted with the `mm-uu-extract' face.  This is what
I intended, however I forgot that you might disable this feature.

I believe this feature never breaks attachments that senders put
on purpose.
