sometimes discouraged html, any ideas?

sometimes discouraged html, any ideas?

[Jeff Senn]

Normally I have text/html as a discouraged alternative -- generally
this reduces the amount of time I spend accidently converting/reading
junk, as well as discouraging folks from sending me html-only email.

However recently a few folks have been sending me email from various
hotmail-like places that contains only HTML (Grr) -- and in this case
I actually want to read it.

Is there a way/Can anyone think of a quick way... to only
convert/display HTML that matches a particular expression (e.g. small
size or no "<img>" tags) and buttonize it otherwise?

You can try this,

(defun your-html-test (handle)
   (when (locate-library "w3")
        ;; put your code here
        ;; return t to display it, nil to buttonize it
        ))

(require 'mm-decode)
(add-to-list 'mm-inline-media-tests
             '("text/html" mm-inline-text your-html-test))
