In a Gnus *Article* buffer, place the cursor on
an attachment, and do M-x describe-text-properties .

   Here is a ‘button’ button labeled ‘[4. image/jpeg; Screenshot_20201030-160838.jpg]...’.

   There are text properties here:
     article-type         annotation
     button               (t)
     category             default-button
     face                 gnus-button
     follow-link          t
     gnus-callback        gnus-mm-display-part
     gnus-data            [Show]
     gnus-face            t
     gnus-part            4
     help-echo            "mouse-2: toggle the MIME part; down-mouse-3: more options"
     keymap               [Show]
     mouse-face           highlight
     rear-nonsticky       t

OK, that's great. However clicking on [Show] just flashes the screen.
C-h e doesn't reveal why, either.
At least print a message.

By "clicking" I'm guessing you mean `mouse-1'?  Use `mouse-2' instead.
Closing.

reopen 44340
retitle Say "use mouse-2" instead of flashing the screen
thanks

The average user is more likely to click with mouse-1.

So clicking with mouse-1 or mouse-3 should cause a message to appear,
saying to click with mouse-2.

Simply flashing the screen will make it appear emacs is broken.

Thanks.

I think you accidentally sent these to control <at> bugs.debian.org instead
of control <at> debbugs.gnu.org.

I suggest in the future you Bcc, not Cc, the control server.

Yeah. I decided to open a more general bug now.

Actually, I closed this prematurely.  There was a bug here -- the [Show]
buttons didn't have the correct markup for this to work.  This has now
been fixed on the trunk.
