GNUs under emacs 24.4.50.1

GNUs under emacs 24.4.50.1

I have yesterday downloaded and built emacs 24.4.50.1 and am using it and its
uptodate gnus version, and am using the same files as when I was using
24.3.1.

I have found that when reading html emails from google+ I have the text part
of the email at the top of the message in a greyish-white background, then the
mail-headers in an expanded-form showing all headers, then its content-type
like this -
,----
| Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=047d7b15ac91ee7ac304f633c3c2
| 
| --047d7b15ac91ee7ac304f633c3c2
| Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed; delsp=yes
| Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
`----

and showing a block of code which looks like a gpg-signature, followed by the
htmlized version of the message displaying all html-code.

With a nnrss feed of articles written in org-mode and exported to a WordPress
blog by 'org2blog' I see a plain-text version of the posting, which is
followed by an htmlized version of the same posting, with these headers -
,----
| MIME-Version: 1.0
| Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=-=-="
| Message-ID: <18@A_taste_of_linux.nnrss>
| 
| --=-=-=
| Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
| Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
`----

In an nnml posting to the 'emacs-orgmode@gnu.org' mailing list I see the text
part of the posting, followed by an expanded version of the headers, in which
I see this as a portion -
,----
| X-Gnus-Mail-Source: pop:boudiccas@talktalk.net@mail.talktalk.net
| Message-ID: <CALS4=HCXDWaPEWqf73=V1Lh-GGmN4RJ9dT051AhWWC-OrqTRfA@mail.gmail.com>
| To: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org
| Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=089e013d1dd6bfb2e004f62a8433
| X-detected-operating-system: by eggs.gnu.org: Error: Malformed IPv6 address
| 	(bad octet value).
| X-Received-From: 2a00:1450:4010:c04::22b
| Subject: [O] Help needed - export markdown is it supposed to pre-pend html?
| X-BeenThere: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org
| X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.14
`----

and a plain-text version of the email, followed by a htmlized version of the
email with these headers -
,----
| --089e013d1dd6bfb2e004f62a8433
| Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
| Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
`----

Overall, reading emails and other postings with this version of emacs/gnus is
a patchy experience.

AFAIK these are the relevant code sections from my '.gnus.el' files -
,----
| (require 'w3m)
| ; You need install the ClI brower 'w3m' and Emacs plugin 'w3m'
| ;(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)
| (setq mm-text-html-renderer 'shr)
| (setq gnus-article-hide-headers)
| ;; Inline images?
| (setq-default mm-attachment-override-types '("image/.*"))
| (setq-default mm-inline-text-html-with-images t)
`----

If this is not the right place to place this report, where should, or who
should, I send it please?

Thanks
Sharon.

Re: GNUs under emacs 24.4.50.1 - now 24.4.50.2

Following on from my recent post about the very-bleeding-edge of emacs, I'm
now running 24.4.50.2 with the same setup files as before, and everything is
working nicely and looks good and normal!

The relevant section of '.gnus.el' is
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
; You need install the ClI brower 'w3m' and Emacs plugin 'w3m'
;(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)

;; Inline images?
(setq-default mm-attachment-override-types '("image/.*"))
;(setq-default mm-inline-text-html-with-images t)
;(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'shr)
;(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'eww)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
From which you can see that most of it is commented out but looks good without
it!

Google+ mails still look odd but can be read with difficulty, although it
might be awkward if you use a theme with a light background.

This is my script for downloading and installing it here -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/bin/bash
set -e
#set -x

Uncomment the lines for initial download, and once you've downloaded and built
it once, comment them out again and just run 'ebuild' whenever you want.

Any problems with it let me know and I'll see what I can do to sort it out?

Thanks
Sharon.
