Looks like the MIME structure survived intact...  but I'm still not able
to reproduce this bug.  (Cc'd to the bug report again.)

I've had a look at the code that's failing, and that bit of
gnus-summary-save-parts-1 hasn't changed in more than 20 years.

Has this problem started happening recently?  Do you have any
customisations in this area?

I think it's the first time I tried that menu entry.

For sure.  I sent this using gnus-bug so it is a bit disappointing that
it didn't list gnus-related options.  Let me check my .emacs.

I think the relevant lines would likely be

That should be about anything gnus/mail related.

These don't exist any more...

I thought perhaps this was the culprit here, but nope.

[...]

The other ones I don't see how could influence `X m', so I'm not able to
reproduce this problem.

Perhaps all the MIME artefacts weren't preserved by the forwarding
method...

Could you instead save that message to a file (select with `C-u g' to
get the raw article), gzip it, and then send it to me?

Ok, here is the beef: I don't get to reproduce the problem right now.  I
am not sure whether the original bug report includes lossage (it should,
I think) but I have no idea what might have triggered the problem now
(apart from having changed the mime forwarding option, but I cannot
image that this is involved here).

At the moment I don't get to trigger it in the current active Emacs
session.  So I don't think it makes sense to focus on details of the
message before I manage to create circumstances where the problem
reoccurs.

As I said: it was the first time I ever used that command (using it from
the menu), it immediately failed, and I sent a bug report.

Well, the problem is probably in how Gnus (mis-)interpreted a specific
MIME structure...

Yes, that's how it should be.  :-)

Have you managed to reproduce this bug?

More information was requested three months ago, but was not given, so
I'm closing this bug report.  If further progress can be made here,
please respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.
