Notes:

- See Bug #494521 for some prior discussion.
- The revision 453.6.58, dated 2008-10-17, is the culprit.  It has the description "Yanking of messages uses the same MIME decoding as the presentation now." vm-yank-message has new implementation in this revision, which supposedly uses the same decoding as the presentation.  The variable vm-included-mime-types-list is being ignored after the revision.

Perhaps the old implementation should be reinstated.

Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Confirmed

Bug description:
When a message with attachments is quoted (yanked), vm-mime-yank-attachments governs whether the attachment is yanked or not.  At the moment, when the flag is nil, the mail buffer appears as if the attachment is included.  Conversely, when the flag is t, the it appears as if the attachment is not included.  This is confusing!  (However, the inclusion/exclusion of the attachment in the mail message appears to be correct.  It is just the mail buffer display that is misleading.)
