Subject: bug#8928: 24.0.50; can't open member of tar file in gnus *Article*

From: Tom Tromey <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2011 08:56:28 -0600

I got an email message with a .tar.gz attachment.
Gnus now opens this in-place in the *Article* buffer -- very cool!
However, I can't seem to open the file contained in the tar.
Middle-clicking on the file name (per the tooltip), or using RET there,
just gives:

widget-button-press: Buffer is read-only: #<buffer *Article nnml:mail.other*>
