Hi,

I've just started using Gnus last week although I am still having
troubles with reading attachments - as well as knowing when I have
them. As of yesterday I downloaded 5.10.6 and replaced 5.9, but still
am not sure how to deal with text, pdf,ps ... attachments I am
receiving. I have apparently configured myself so that I do not even
know about the attachments until I hit t to toggle all my headers. 

I see in section 9 p. 316 of the manual discussion of Decoding and
Viewing, but haven't yet figured out how to using this information
(but I can demonstrate my ability to effortlessly break my .gnus file
:) ). Is there a relatively simple line I can add to my .gnus file
that will show the attachment in the message; and, at least, allow me
to save it (or view it)?

I've attacheD my .gnus file as I suspect some things are set
incorrectly or can be improved. Also I am attaching it using C-u C-a,
and will let default options work - I noticed that sending myself
attachments this way sends them encoded in something other than text
(octet-stream?) and I would often prefer it to default to a straight
text attachment - if there is still such a thing?

(ok earthlink gave message won't send application file so I am trying
text/plain)
