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?

But I would really like to be able to open attachments without having to manually save them. Alan
