Greetings to another czech notmuch user :-)

I can confirm the behavior you describe. It seems the error message is
generated by mm-extern-cache-contents in gnus/mm-extern.el. According to
comments in that file, it works with something called
"message/external-body". Currently, I have no clue what external-body
means but your message contains such thing.

My poor Elisp knowledge doesn't allow me to debug the problem, but you
may want to check whether the same problem appears in Gnus and if so,
consult it with Gnus developers.

Cheers,
Michal
