Probably, the least error prone way is to use
`gnus-summary-save-article-mail' ([1], C-o, O m, <menu-bar> <Article>
<Output> <Save in Unix mail format...>), gzip the resulting file and
send it as attachment.  Other user can save it to disk and open it
e.g. using `G f' or `G M'.

[1] If you use nnml or have file system access to your IMAP server
    (assuming it is using a one-file-per-message format), you can skip
    saving to mbox file, of course.

Here's what I did and got:

- C-d (`gnus-summary-enter-digest-group') parses your message fine,
  and I get:

  | Uwe Brauer            <2 text>

- On "<1.1.2.* alternative> [[postsubject]] (3)" I hit `g' and get
  (Because I have configure Gnus to prefer and display text/plain, but
  add buttons to choose the text/html alternative):

Looking at the raw text (`C-u g') confirms that the text alternative
is in fact only "[[postsubject]]:" plus empty lines:

,----
| --b1_4c7961f2b8ac93c010464a2dd0c8c354

So you screen shot (gnus-campus.png) in
<news:87myqvd3hj.fsf_-_@mat.ucm.es> suggests that you have configured
Gnus to prefer the text/plain part over text/html.  See (info
"(emacs-mime)Display Customization") for relevant options.

- When I choose the text/html part using the button or by selecting
  "<1.1.2.2 html>", I get:
