bug#11625: 24.1.50; Gnus: MIME messages are no longer handled

[Stefan Reichör]

Hi!

After upgrading to the latest Emacs I have a major problem in GNUS:
messages in MIME format are no longer handled as before. Now I see all
alternatives as plain text, e.g.:

,----
| This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
| 
| --a8edf5ea92b84843a6e764149d3f7d56
| Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
| Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
`----

Please note that I also have a problem with auth-source.el (I can no
longer get mails). I fixed this problem by using an older version of
this auth-source.el. Not sure if this problem is related.

Stefan.
