In my gnus (haven't got rid the latest one, yet ;) :

Pressing ENTER (RET) on top of text/html content: w3m-safe-view-this-url
Pressing ENTER (RET) on top of text content: widget-button-press
Pressing ENTER (RET) on top of an attachment: gnus-article-press-button

Pressing 'o' on top of text executes: gnus-summary-save-article
Pressing 'o' on top of an attachment: gnus-mime-save-part

To user that is:

Pressing Enter on top of an attachment will either show the attachment on
buffer (in case there is 'converter' defined) or offer to save the
attachment. Pressing 'o' on top of an attachment will always offer to save
the attachment.

Therefore I'd check rmail / gnus / vm / mh-e to check what keybindings those
use and if there are some commonalities, align with those.
