Subject: rendering in text, how to stop web trackers
Date: Mon, 07 Feb 2022 18:24:24 -0500
Message-ID: <0qmtj2mf9z.fsf@mirror.to>
User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.4 (gnu/linux)

I generally use gnus in a terminal emulator (emacs -nw).
I'm getting more and more HTML only mail, but I really prefer
straight monochrome text.

My ideal behavior is:
  if there's a text part to a message, show that
  if there's only html, show that
     but (in order to stop tracking) do not load anything from the net 
     and if there are URLs/images in the message, give me an easy
       way to view, copy & paste the URL

I've got html as a discouraged alternative:
(setq mm-discouraged-alternatives
      '("text/html"
        "text/richtext"))

I'm rendering with w3m:
(setq mm-inline-text-html-renderer
      'mm-inline-text-html-render-with-w3m)
(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'gnus-w3m)

How do I tell w3m to not fetch anything and just render what came in the
message?  Or should I use shr or something else to render?

  --thanks for any clues
