gmail html email. Quote are not recognized.

gmail html email. Quote are not recognized.

[Uwe Brauer]

 

Hi

I am using Ubuntu 14.04, GNU emacs 26 and the gnus version 
shipped.

Steps to reproduce  the problem.

    - From a google account send a HTML mail to yourself. (for not 
    HTML 
        mail this problem does not occur, but HTML is, 
        unfortunately now, the standard setting)

    -  open that message in google mail (not in gnus) reply and 
    leave 
       the quotation intact, reply inline, in gnus that it would 
       be.

> original message

This is my answer.

    -  sent the reply to yourself.

    -  open it reply message with gnus. Now the original message 
    and the 
       quotes can not be distinguished by gnus (they  can by 
       thunderbird).  The problem is not solved by adding new 
       lines after the quotes.

For me this is a serious problem, because a lot of my colleagues 
use now gmail (most of them reply above the quote, which is also 
annoying) but in the case of inline quotation the thing now seems 
messed up.

Anybody has had similar experience and knows what to do??
Any help is strongly appreciated.

Here is an example

I played around with these 3 variables

 gnus-mime-display-multipart-alternative-as-mixed 

 gnus-mime-display-multipart-related-as-mixed 
 gnus-mime-display-multipart-as-mixed 

When all are nil, the default, math png is displayed nicely, but GMAIL
HTML messages with quotes are not correctly displayed.

This can be overcome by setting


(setq gnus-mime-display-multipart-alternative-as-mixed t)
(setq gnus-mime-display-multipart-related-as-mixed nil)
(setq gnus-mime-display-multipart-as-mixed nil)

Then quotation is OK, math is OK, but the message are displayed twice.

Any other solution would be appreciated.

After playing around with these variables I found out that the correct
setting which displays math/png and the gmail/html quotes is:

(setq gnus-mime-display-multipart-alternative-as-mixed nil) 
(setq gnus-mime-display-multipart-related-as-mixed nil)
(setq gnus-mime-display-multipart-as-mixed nil)  
(setq mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html")) ;standard setting for quotes in gmail
(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'shr)
