Hi, when i try to attach files with gnus, it fail with:

,----
| mm-insert-file-contents: 
| Opening input file: aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type, 
| /home/thierry/download/#("~/download/toto.txt" 0 19 (face nil))
`----

Here is how the attached file is displayed in the body of the mail:
(i remove the "part" tags)

,----
| type="text/plain" filename=#("~/download/toto.txt" 0 19 (face nil)) disposition=inline description=test
`----

However if i modify that like:

,----
| type="text/plain" filename="~/download/toto.txt" disposition=inline description=test
`----

The attached file (toto.txt) is sent

icicles redefines `read-file-name' so that it returns a string with
text properties.

Does this patch fix the problem?

This email does it.  You could have done it yourself by just adding
"-done" after the bug-number in the destination address (as in the To:
field of this email).
