Normally this is supposed to happend based on the file in
`mime-situation-examples-file' that points to ~/.mime-example. A
brief description of the concept can be found in [1].
If WL/SEMI asks you on the method to chose it obviously fails to
determine a suitable method based on ~/.mime-example -- maybe you
could remove current ~/.mime-example and start new, always chosing one
of the possible methods when asked in the hope SEMI will recognize
your wish to use the method on certain attachments.
E.g., I remove my .mime-example, startet Emacs, opened a mail message
with an MS Word attachment and extracted it using
`wl-mime-save-content'. After closing Emacs .mime-example was
written and looked like:
,----
| (setq mime-acting-situation-example-list
| '((((type . application)
| (subtype . octet-stream)
| (mode . "extract")
| (method . wl-mime-save-content)
| (major-mode . wl-original-message-mode)
| (disposition-type . attachment)
| (encoding . "base64")
| (filename . "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.doc")
| ("name" . "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.doc"))
| . 0)))
`----
Started Emacs again, chose a different MS Word attachment, pressed
"e", chose `wl-mime-save-content', left Emacs and .mime-example was:
,----
| (setq mime-acting-situation-example-list
| '((((type . application)
| (subtype . octet-stream)
| (mode . "extract")
| (method . wl-mime-save-content)
| (major-mode . wl-original-message-mode)
| (disposition-type . attachment)
| (encoding . "base64"))
| . 2)
| (((type . application)
| (subtype . octet-stream)
| (major-mode . wl-original-message-mode)
| (disposition-type . attachment)
| (encoding . "base64"))
| . 1)
| (((type . application)
| (subtype . octet-stream)
| (mode . "extract")
| (method . wl-mime-save-content)
| (major-mode . wl-original-message-mode)
| (disposition-type . attachment)
| (encoding . "base64")
| (filename . "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.doc")
| ("name" . "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.doc"))
| . 0)))
`----
And after this for all MS Word attachments that where attached as
application/octet-stream `wl-mime-save-content' was chosen as method;
so looks like SEMI generalized my two decisions on the MS Word
attachment.
