ms-tnef attachments

2005-11-09 Thread Jim Crossley
There must be some clever gnus user out there who has some configuration to automatically extract the contents of an ms-tnef attachment and dislay the embedded attachments as standard ones, right? I've googled, but the results didn't meet my expectations. What's the preferred way of dealing with

2005-11-09 Thread David Sumbler
I use nnfolder: for my mail groups. When entering a group, Gnus asks me how many articles to fetch if there are more than 200 (the default). Lately I seem to be getting some odd behaviour, where Gnus says that there are far more mails than there really are in a group. For instance, at the moment
