View an HTML file, for example, with \`K e' (\`mh-display-with-external-viewer'). Note that the file modification marker gets set. When you move to the next message, you have to first answer the question, Message 88 modified; discard changes? (yes or no).

This is a regression from Emacs version 24.3.

Actually, I see this with 24.3 on Solaris, e.g., when using "K e" to view a PDF with Evince (GNOME 2).

The message buffer ends up with text like

[2. application/pdf; Travel Reservation.pdf]...
** (evince:5290): WARNING **: Error setting file metadata: No such file or directory
** (evince:5290): WARNING **: Error setting file metadata: No such file or directory
(evince:5290): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:2593: instance '810e9d8' has no handler with id '913'
(evince:5290): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:2593: instance '810e9d8' has no handler with id '914'

John Covici also reports getting messages marked as modified when using lynx as the HTML renderer.

;; There is a bug in Gnus inline image display due to which an extra line
;; gets inserted every time it is viewed. To work around that problem we are
;; using an extra property 'mh-region to remember the region that is added
;; when the button is clicked. The region is then deleted to make sure that
;; no extra lines get inserted.

Maybe something like that is needed for mh-display-with-external-viewer, too?
