Gnus and ewws

Gnus and ewws

[Matt Ford]

Hi,

Do shr and ewws have the same DNA?  It seems eww does a better job at
rendering web pages than shr does at rendering messages...

Can I use ewws to render my messages?

Do you mean shr and "eww"? I'm pretty sure that eww mostly uses shr
under the hood, as it were.

What kinds of differences do you see?

Cne difference could be that the renderer in Gnus doesn't by default,
and design, fetch messages referenced by <img> (and presumably doesn't
fetch <iframe>s for the same reason...?).

Maybe changing:

,----[ C-h v mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp RET ]
| mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp is a variable defined in `mm-decode.el'.
| Its value is nil
| Original value was "\\`cid:"
| 
| Documentation:
| Regexp matching URLs which are considered to be safe.
| Some HTML mails might contain a nasty trick used by spammers, using
| the <img> tag which is far more evil than the [Click Here!] button.
| It is most likely intended to check whether the ominous spam mail has
| reached your eyes or not, in which case the spammer knows for sure
| that your email address is valid.  It is done by embedding an
| identifier string into a URL that you might automatically retrieve
| when displaying the image.  The default value is "\\`cid:" which only
| matches parts embedded to the Multipart/Related type MIME contents and
| Gnus will never connect to the spammer's site arbitrarily.  You may
| set this variable to nil if you consider all urls to be safe.
`----

and checking out:

,----[ C-h v gnus-inhibit-images RET ]
| gnus-inhibit-images is a variable defined in `gnus-art.el'.
| Its value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| Non-nil means inhibit displaying of images inline in the article body.
`----

could make a difference?

I don't think shr handles frames nor iframes at all?

  $ zgrep '(defun shr-tag-' /usr/share/emacs/24.3.50/lisp/net/shr.el.gz | wc -l
  44
  $ zgrep '(defun shr-tag-' /usr/share/emacs/24.3.50/lisp/net/shr.el.gz | grep frame
  $ 


  Best regards,

    Adam

eww uses shr for almost all rendering.  The only thing that eww does
that shr doesn't is to render <form> elements.
