Ah, so mutt saves content in a file which is then opened by
Emacs.  Okay, that makes sense.  Gnus does things the other way around:
opens the buffer (associated with a file in the draft directory),
inserts the content, and then puts the user in control.  File local
variables don't get a chance to be interpreted then.

Yes, of course.  That's the whole point?

(and, yes, I've been reading the thread so I know the concerns about
security etc.)
