Subject: 24.0.50; Gnus article display of multiparts has become unusable
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 11:24:14 +0100

If I read a multipart article containing a forwarded mail with
attachment, gnus is moving to the Date header of the included mail once
every second as soon as one goes into the article buffer in order to
move to the attachment.

This makes it utterly impossible to do any serious work.  I would guess
that this is a combination of Gnus trying to update the date header with
a "xxx minutes ago" hint and something with save-excursion or similar
going wrong.

I just pulled and rebuilt Emacs from the git mirror, and it did not
help.

I was just about to sent the exact same bug report, thanks David.

I'm copying the bugs <at> gnus.org address in case that helps putting 
this bug report on top of the list.

Best,

This is now fixed in git Gnus.

Not really.  It just means that I see the report twice.  :-)

Ah okay, will avoid this in the future then!

Thanks for fixing the bug :)
