X v u 'gnus-uudecode-and-view' kept giving me the "wrong type file"
error. After much web and info searching, I solved this one in two
steps.
First, I added the following line to my .gnus file.
(setq gnus-uu-user-view-rules '(("jpg$\\|gif$" "xzgv")))
Second, when the error persisted, I discovered that I didn't have the
Debian package 'sharutils' installed. 'uudecode' is provided by this
package, and Emacs evidently uses the Gnu uudecode program.
