Hello,
I quite often get htmlized mail were people have underlined or marked
up text with bold or italic. These mails are generally quite horrible
to read. However most of the markup (underline/bold/italic) can be
simply reproduced in a normal emacs buffer without resorting to w3 (or
any other browser). Is there a way I can do a simple washing of
text/html messages.
A typical example message looks like this (hopefully this looks as bad
in *your* gnus as it does in mine ...)
<html>

I would like this to wash into something like:

---------------
Of course, the washing in question should be simple, tables and other
more "advanced" html features should of course not be supported. But
if washing could:
1. Remove and ignore <font> </font> pairs
2. Remove <br> and and "prittify" linebreaks/paragraphs/spacing
3. Replace <b>bold</b> -> *bold* and <i>italic</i> -> /italic/
This would *greatly* increase the readability of these messages.
Is there anything like this in the works, or if not do anyone have
suggestions on how to implement something like this?

I'm seeing a lot of this crap nowadays. Is this MS Lookout! output?
Sometimes I use html2text - with the article displayed, type `|' in
the Summary buffer and tell it to run a script.
It loses all formatting elsewhere in the message (any lynx
gurus/manpage readers out there?) but sometimes it's worthwhile.

Hm. I guess it could be simplified, but oh well. Dunno where I got it.

Apparently, MS Outlook (not Outlook Express) for Windows 2K does not
have a global "send plaintext mail only". To send plaintext mail,
the address must be added to an address book, and then for that specific
address, an option must be individually selected to say "send plaintext".
This is pure evil.
I wrote the following Perl program as a hasty response, and pipe everything
through it that matches "Content-type:.*boundary" in the header. It's
harmless on *real* MIME content, other than eating a bit of CPU.
Requires the MIME::Tools distribution from teh CPAN.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $envelope = <STDIN>;
use MIME::Parser;
use MIME::Entity;
my $parser = MIME::Parser->new;
$parser->output_to_core(1);
$parser->tmp_to_core(1);
my $ent = eval { $parser->parse(\*STDIN) }; die "$@" if $@;

When trying to pipe the article output from gnus using '|', I get the

The "default" stuff that appears from here on up doesn't happen when I
run `|'. Maybe it's related to the "No default saver is defined"
message?
Maybe you could customize `gnus-default-article-saver' to be sure it
has a sane value.

OK, I say "fixed."
BTW, for Gnus 5.8.8, not changing gnus-prompt-before-saving is a
workaround.

I get a similar error, and have been for at least a couple of years....
I had gnus-default-article-saver customized to gnus-summary-save-in-file.
After trying | in summary, gnus-default-article-saver showed as having
the value gnus-summary-save-in-pipe, rather than ...-in-file.

gnus-default-article-saver is bound to gnus-summary-save-in-pipe when
trying `|'. If Gnus changes the value after the command, it is
because there was a bug in Gnus 5.8.7 and previous versions. A
workaround is putting (require 'gnus-art) in ~/.gnus .

This has no effect on getting | to work. I still get 'default as the
last argument in the call to call-process-region.
The code (as of 5.8.8) looks like:
(defun gnus-summary-save-in-pipe (&optional command)
"Pipe this article to subprocess."
(setq command
(cond ((and (eq command 'default)
gnus-last-shell-command)
gnus-last-shell-command)
(command command)
(t (read-string
(format
"Shell command on %s: "
(if (and gnus-number-of-articles-to-be-saved
(> gnus-number-of-articles-to-be-saved 1))
(format "these %d articles"
gnus-number-of-articles-to-be-saved)
"this article"))
gnus-last-shell-command))))
(when (string-equal command "")
(setq command gnus-last-shell-command))
(gnus-eval-in-buffer-window gnus-article-buffer
(save-restriction
(widen)
(shell-command-on-region (point-min) (point-max) command nil)))
(setq gnus-last-shell-command command))
That 'default up there appears to get sent to shell-command-on-region.
Note that read-string is NOT called when the error occurs. Note that
default is not AFAICT defined. Anf this bug has existed in every
version of ding that I have tried. (I had to think about when I was
first hit with it for a while; it was indeed when I discovered ding
and upgraded from whatever version/capitalization of gnus I'd been using.
So. (eq command 'default) is presumably nil. gnus-last-shell-command
as well, so command is not setq to (gnus-last-shell-command). command
is not set AFAICT, so command is not setq to the old value of command
either. So read-string ought to be run. But it is not.
Just tested by manually calling (gnus-summary-save-in-pipe "ls").
The backtrace is now:
Signaling: (wrong-type-argument stringp default)
call-process-region(1 902 "/bin/bash" "/tmp/emacseha4Xw"
#<buffer *Shell Command Output*> nil "-c" default)
shell-command-on-region(1 902 default nil)
gnus-summary-save-in-pipe(default)
byte-code("**ELIDED**" [gnus-default-article-saver gnus-article-buffer
save-buffer gnus-save-article-buffer gnus-prompt-before-saving
file error "No default saver is defined" default always nil t
filename num gnus-number-of-articles-to-be-saved
gnus-article-current-summary] 2)
gnus-article-save(#<buffer *Gnus Save*> nil 1)
gnus-summary-save-article(nil t)
gnus-summary-pipe-output(nil)
call-interactively(gnus-summary-pipe-output)
gnus-article-read-summary-keys(nil)
* call-interactively(gnus-article-read-summary-keys)
as you can see, gnus-summary-save-in-pipe is still called with the arg default.
The bytecode shows that gnus-article-save's fragment:
(if (not gnus-default-article-saver)
(error "No default saver is defined")
indicates that (not gnus-default-article-saver) is returning t. The
variable is now set to gnus-summary-save-in-rmail (since I removed
the reference to it in ~/.emacs.el). Running a (setq gnus-default-
article-saver 'gnus-summary-save-in-file) does not change the backtrace.

I thought you meant another similar error, not exactly the same error.
I've fixed this error this morning (in oGnus v0.01). See message

There is still a problem with gnus-summary-pipe-output.
Once you use it, there is no way to choose a new command; all
subsequent invocations run the initial command w/o prompting the user.

Set gnus-prompt-before-saving to 'always, which is the default value.

The document of gnus-prompt-before-saving says "If this variable is
neither nil not `always', there the user will be prompted once for a
file name for each invocation of the saving commands." I think it
should also apply to gnus-summary-pipe-output, which asks for a
command.
