Subject: Re: Gnus: How to simplify file attachments?
Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2012 09:09:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8E3C5909-7039-4465-8379-8FFB9AB10CB3@math.ethz.ch> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m1ipkmv12p.fsf@gmail.com>
I realized that I can "customize" dnd-protocol-alist. I added the three lines as in Leo's setup (mml-dnd-attach-file, dnd-open-file, mml-dnd-attach-file) [I even used the same order]. Still, drag-and-drop of files to a new message buffer includes the file contents, not the file as attachment. Do I need to install anything to get this feature?
Cheers,
Marius
