By default, Gnus displays "application/postscript" using "gv -safer
%s" (and it's done only on user request, see `mm-automatic-display').

I never tried to display PostScript inline in Emacs.  Could you send
me an example?  I didn't manage to trigger Emacs/Gnus into displaying
a postscript attachment inline (even by using "image/postscript",
Content-Disposition: inline).  If Emacs can do it, maybe an addition
to `mm-inline-media-tests' would be necessary.

But even if Gnus would display PostScript inline: Shouldn't Emacs have
an option to disable "deletefile" and "renamefile" and other dangerous
PostScript commands?

Bye, Reiner.
