I didn't have time to try doc-view yet (and currently the trunk
doesn't bootstrap for me; will look into this later), so I don't know
if doc-view makes sense for attachments.

Gnus wants to stay compatible with Emacs 21 and XEmacs 21.4.  When
adding doc-view specific entries, please do it in a compatible way.

(Additionally, such non-bugfix changes should not go into the stable
Gnus version, I think.)

Bye, Reiner.
