Subject: bug#34387: 26.1; Gnus: handle empty message parts

From: Christophe Troestler <[email-masked]>

Hi,

Some messages only contain an attachment (no body) and (gnus-article-prepare-display) choke on the empty part.  More specifically, `gnus-mime-display-single' does (narrow-to-region beg (point)) which fails if the part is empty.  An easy fix is to write

      (when (< beg (point))
        (narrow-to-region beg (point))
        (if (eq handle gnus-article-mime-handles)
          ...))
