Hi, I just wanted to mention that display-local-help (C-h .) does not necessarily provide help that is useful to a user not using a mouse. E.g., in a Gnus Article buffer, if you move point over an attachment button (gnus-header-content face), and run display-local-help, it will tell you "mouse-2: toggle the MIME part; down-mouse-3: more options". A mouse user can right click and get a large menu of commands that can be applied to that MIME part.

Maybe I am suppose to know how to send a down-mouse-3 without a mouse. Or perhaps there is another way to get that menu without a graphical pop-up. I'm interested to learn more.
