0. Save the attached file e.g. as "~/test". 1. emacs -Q 2. M-x gnus, type `y' at the prompt. 3. In the *Group* buffer type `G f test RET'. 4. Type RET to enter Gnus Summary mode showing the file as mail. 5. In the Summary buffer type RET to open the mail. 6. In the Summary buffer type `2 b' to open the buttonized message/rfc822 attachment display in the Article buffer. => The attachment is displayed as the untreated raw text of the file (i.e. with all headers, quoted-printable-encoded) instead of as a normal email, as it is when repeating the recipe in emacs-27. This bug is due to this change (reverting it restores the emacs-27 display): commit 748bf7b93edcfd1707fa3f593a330979e280eb49 Author: Lars Ingebrigtsen Commit: Lars Ingebrigtsen CommitDate: Tue Jul 6 16:34:24 2021 +0200 Allow using `mm-inline-message' from other mail clients than Gnus * lisp/gnus/mm-view.el (mm-inline-message-prepare-function): New variable (bug#49380). (mm-inline-message): Use it to separate out the Gnus-specific code. * lisp/gnus/gnus-art.el (gnus-mime-display-single): ... which has been moved here. When debugging I see that mm-inline-message-prepare-function is nil in mm-inline-message. AFAICT this is because at step 6 in the recipe, gnus-mime-display-part is not called, and hence gnus-mime-display-single is not called. But I haven't figured out why gnus-mime-display-part is not called.
