Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2003-02-17 on divan.mitre.org configured using `configure --prefix=/afs/rcf/apps/unsupported/emacs-stuff' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: en_US locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1 default-enable-multibyte-characters: nil Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: In the gnus summary buffer, C-o executes gnus-summary-save-article-mail. This saves the message to an mbox of the user's choosing. However, the resulting message does not contain many headers, in particular not the MIME content type header such as Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------1028C4D2E56CFC00092ED84E" As a consequence, the message is no longer useful if it contains MIME contents. For instance, forwarding it will be useless to most recipients. Thanks very much. Joshua Guttman guttman@mitre.org
