Howdy -
I'm using running gnus (Gnus v5.11) under a recent windows emacs (GNU
Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2005-12-08 on W2ONE) after
spending a hellish year suffering with MS Outlook.
Now that I'm back in gnus, I'm amazed at the increase in html-only
email - stuff without even a text-only alternative. Is there a way in
this windows setup to view the currently-viewed message in a separate
browser? (I'm running firefox 1.5)
Meanwhile I'll investigate w3m, but in my linux past I haven't enjoyed
using the elisp browsers.
I'd be happy to provide more information if it would help.
Thanks! (and thanks to gnus for rescuing my sanity)

Here's a magic incantation that displays a text version of the email,
which, of course, is even better than switching to an external
browser. This may be coming from html2text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
mm-text-html-renderer is a variable defined in `mm-decode.el'.
Its value is html2text
----------------------------------------------------------------------
auto-show-mime is from this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
;;; auto-show-mime.el --- Automatically show all mime parts
;; Copyright (C) 2000 by Jonas Steverud
----------------------------------------------------------------------
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;
;; html handling
;; per http://my.gnus.org/faq/html-nochunks/#id2510524
(eval-after-load "mm-decode"
'(progn
(add-to-list 'mm-discouraged-alternatives "text/html")
(add-to-list 'mm-discouraged-alternatives "text/richtext")))
(load-library "auto-show-mime")
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Yes!!! ;)
http://www.ularx.de/elisp/hs-show-html-mail.el - however it's taylored
for Linux so far, but that should concern only the handling of the
tmp-files. That will get more portable in the next days and as I've got
my FSF-assignment today, it should also wander into Gnus soon.

Cool! I'm in a rush at the moment but hope to take a close look at it
this weekend.
Many thanks -
