Obviously, a reproducible example would be helpful. XEmacs is loading the file, guessing the encoding, and guessing it's Unicode. But it's actually binary junk, so it ends up trying to handle more Unicode characters than XEmacs can. (Because of the horrible nature of the way XEmacs currently handles Unicode, it can only cope with "tens of thousands" of distinct characters beyond those that Mule

already knows about, and when it runs out of space, the above error is what will happen.)

As to why it might doing that, I can't imagine. Loading an attachment should be done in binary coding,

and surely gnus must normally do that correctly, or nothing would ever work. Reproducible example needed!
