Well, the failing is that the pdf viewer tells me the file is not there.
Is it because the following happens:
- 'open foo.pdf' launches the pdf viewer with the file and returns
immediately;
- as 'open' has returned, gnus clean up the file;
- the pdf viewer complains that the file has disappeared?
If so, is there a way to tell gnus not to clean up after opening an
attachment? (The /tmp files will eventually be deleted.)

Thanks, this is what I ended up doing. But I would really like to be
able to open attachments without having to manually save them.
