Display colors in html mails

Display colors in html mails

[Rasmus]

Hi,

Sometimes I get replies from folks who reply inline in the previous
mail using colors.  I guess these are mostly people who're using some
kind of version of MS Outlook, which, at least by default, does not
insert `>' or other notation for `old text'.

Example:

┏━━━
┃ Reply to Rasmus who wrote on DATE: 
┃ > my reply
┃ my text in the original mail 
┃ <blue>the guy's reply</blue>
┗━━━

This is annoying, but I think it's for the better that I just accept
this practice.  So my question is, is there some way I can have Gnus
display colors in html mails?  Or some other solution which I have
missed?

I tried varies backends via mm-text-html-renderer, but it didn't seem
to solve the issue.  I also noticed the variable
shr-color-html-colors-alist, but I setting the html-render to shr
didn't work either. . . 

Thanks in advcance,
Rasmus

I usually get the text version of the message with M-t b, or display it on
the browser if it does not exist with K H.

Gnus (via shr.el) displays HTML (with colours) by default, if your Emacs
is built with libxml2 support, and you haven't customised stuff too much.
