I want to read html mails thru Netscape.

I want to read html mails thru Netscape.

[Jinhyok Heo]

I'm using Gnus v5.8.8 with XEmacs 21.4.3.

I'm sort of Gnus beginner and this is my first post here. :-)

Well, is there any way I can read incoming html mails thru Netscape.
My Gnus shows me thru w3, which is also good but quite slow sometimes
and doesn't show mails decently.

Thanks in advance.

Does it work to say `K b' to create buttons for the parts, then hit
`e' on the text/html button?

Thanks! It does work in case I add "text/html; /usr/bin/netscape %" in
my "~/.mailcap".

But in such way I have to wait long for my html mail to be loaded.  I
want to read text/plain first if both text/plain and text/html exit.

And I found following lines could show me text/plain first.
(setq mm-discouraged-alternatives
      '("text/html" "text/richtext"))

And the following line made me buttons without pressing 'K b'.
(setq gnus-inhibit-mime-unbuttonizing t)

I was happy for a moment, but I came to know that hitting 'e' on the
text/html button did not call netscape any more - slow w3 was working.

Is there a way that I can read text/plain first and also read
text/html though netscape if needed?

You should look into netscape-remote (and maybe "netscape -remote
something") so you can access the pages in your running netscape, not
starting a new one.

This is how I think it should be.

For this one, I just used M-t when needed on the mail - it sticks on
as well.

This does not sound like regular behaviour - 'e' on the button should
invoke the external reader - you can probably test other things as
well on the matter, but you should recheck .mailcap if you accidentaly
changed it or something.

If it still does that, it might even be a bug.
