The relevant bug report is at https://sourceforge.net/p/mh-e/bugs/475/ In short, the problem is that if you view a message that contains an external-body part, MH-E will immediately start downloading it, whether the user wanted that or not. With this fix, the user initiates the download by clicking on the button for the external-body part. (Sorry, I should have included more details in my original message.) > Also, what branch of the MH-E repository will this be committed to? I'm not sure I understand the question. MH-E has a separate repository for its tests and old XEmacs support, but the primary codebase is in the main Emacs git repository. The bug is annoying (and a privacy leak), with a simple fix that only touches MH-E, so I'd like to push it to emacs-26, but if you'd rather that it go to master, I'll do that instead. thanks, mike
