Could you let me know how it fails? Otherwise, could you show
me a sample email in question? Unfortunately I'm not successful
in making such an email that causes the problem so far, and trying
(narrow-to-region beg beg) and (narrow-to-region (point) (point))
cause nothing special.
But I found at least two other kinds of problems in relation to
an empty attachment:
1. In the article buffer, pressing the RET key on an empty
text/plain attachment conceals the succeeding other attachments,
does not toggle. `g' restores them of course, though.
2. Some kind of an empty mail isn't able to be edited using the
`e' command (gnus-summary-edit-article), that is, a single part
email whose body is an empty attachment. Gnus misunderstands
that the header is its body.

I'd like to fix those problems in the Gnus code. :)
Thanks.
