Ah, so if there is no content, the attachment /becomes/ the body. I
tried the same as you, I think, and got:
== =
Subject: Empty content, attached text/plain
Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2025 21:27:58 +0100
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.txt
This is the content.
== =
And that is shown with no buttons - I guess because there is no
multipart.
Then I tried an email with content and attaching a text/plain file
again, which resulted in a button, and the email looking like this:
== =
Subject: Line in body, attached text/plain
Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2025 21:29:06 +0100
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=-=-="
--=-=-=
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.txt
This is the content.
--=-=-=
Content-Type: text/plain
This is the line in body
--=-=-=--
== =
I guess a solution could be to try and improve
gnus-summary-save-article-body-file to automatically suggest the
filename from the Content-Disposition header, if there is one?
Perhaps one could change gnus-file-save-name, which defaults to
'gnus-numeric-save-name, to a function that looks at the header? I
can't really see how to get to the Content-Disposition: from there,
though.
Best regards,
Adam
