Subject: External MIME viewers are killed when switching article. Why?
Date: 03 May 2001 20:26:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <kpelu6b86u.fsf@utip202.cs.utwente.nl> (raw)
When viewing a different article, all external MIME viewers opened on parts of
the previous article are killed. Why?
This is rather inconvenient if you have a large application like StarOffice
that you use to view word documents, and this application is restarted for each
arrticle.
I tried specifying a small wrapper to handle the MIME type which in turn spawns
the real application in the background, but this doesn't work. Apparently,
Xemacs, when asked to delete a process, sends SIGHUP to _all_ processes in the
process group.
Is it possible to tell gnus not to kill viewers for certain mime types?
