Hi Uwe,
Ar an fichiú lá de mí Méan Fómhair, scríobh Uwe Brauer:
This is bizzare: I have install a no-gnus version which I use either
with
21.4.22 Or 21.5.29.
I wanted to send a message with 2 PDF attachments. It worked fine in
21.4.22 but in 21.5.29 I obtained an error which I attach. Since it works
in 21.4.22 I hesitate to send a bug report to the gnus list.
This was previously reported,
http://mid.gmane.org/m3r637lpm5.fsf@mikesoffice.com . It’s a bug in gnus, it
should be inserting the files to attach into the current buffer as binary,
not relying on autodetection.
The work around is to add an entry to file-coding-system-alist mapping PDFs
to binary, something like:
(push '("\\.pdf\\'" . no-conversion-unix) file-coding-system-alist)
It’s worth our while to add this to core XEmacs, which is why I’ve committed
the below. I don’t know why you don’t get the bug on 21.4.
Best,
Aidan

‘Iodine deficiency was endemic in parts of the UK until, through what has been
described as “an unplanned and accidental public health triumph”, iodine was
added to cattle feed to improve milk production in the 1930s.’
