Do you mean I must manually type v every time I need to forward a message, just in case it has binary attachments? That would be a nuisance. I surely hope you meant that typing f will do that (and whatever else is necessary) for me. > My change (reverting Mark's change) will add functionality > and lose none. Before the change, f _never_ worked when the original message included attachments. No mail agent I use, including Rmail, was able to display the forwarded message correctly, including its attachments. After the change, f does work. So reverting the change is going backwards. If the change introduces bugs in some specific situations, those bugs should be fixed, without reverting the change itself.
