I think epa-mail-decrypt is either obsolete, or strongly deprecated,
since everyone should be use message mode with mml tags to get proper
MIME formatting, but hereʼs what I tried:

    Sent myself a message with inline OPENPGP
    Opened that with Gnus
    Told Gnus to *not* automatically decrypt the OPENPGP part :-)
    K-c to get a buffer with the encrypted text
    M-x epa-mail-mode
    C-c C-e C-d

The end result was a buffer called '*decoded*' in fundamental mode,
which is the same mode as what K-c used.

I think you can close this bug.

Robert
