Subject: BUG: mm-display-external requires an xterm
Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 11:15:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ofqqko93.fsf@squeaker.lickey.com> (raw)
When mm-display-external decides that a mailcap entry needs a
terminal, it unconditionally fires off "xterm". There are two
problems:
1) It tries to run the xterm even if window-system is nil.
My mailcap has text/html being shown with lynx. If I'm running
emacs within an xterm, shouldn't emacs just temporarily shell out
to lynx?
1) What if I want rxvt instead? Or maybe ETerm? Perhaps there should
be a gnus-external-terminal variable. This is minor.
