This should work exactly the same as in FSF Emacs[1]. If you are using insert-file-contents-literally then you need to be aware that is currently broken under XEmacs (as it was in FSF 20.3). My patch for fixing has not made it into a released version yet. However I though gnus already used its own version of insert-file-contents-literally? Jan Footnotes: [1] Apart from the fact that under XEmacs no-conversion an alias for raw-text, so you _need_ to use binary.
