- The following sounds like what you wanted, although I haven't tried it.
- It was posted to this group a while back.
- To quote from the README
- =========================
- GIF grabbing utility for use with gnus in emacs.
- by Art Mellor @ Cayman Systems, Inc.
-
- These files provide (along with some generally useful uu-type functions) the
- code necessary to easily pull multi-part GIF files off "picutures" newsgroups,
- merge the parts, and decode them to the file of your choice. It isn't super
- smart about finding the various parts of a GIF, but it does the job in the
- majority of cases I have seen lately. It uses the subject line to find them
- and expects it to look something like:
-
- foo.gif, etc. (1/4) or
- foo.gif, etc. 1 of 4, etc.
-
- (......) omitted
