Reading HTML messages

Reading HTML messages

[Flatman]

Hi

I currently use links with emacs for reading HTML messages.
I'd like to know if there are other , maybe better HTML readers useable in emacs ?
Any comments appreciated

See...

,----[ C-h v mm-text-html-renderer RET ]
| mm-text-html-renderer's value is w3m
| 
| Render of HTML contents.
| It is one of defined renderer types, or a rendering function.
| The defined renderer types are:
| `w3'   : use Emacs/W3;
| `w3m'  : use emacs-w3m;
| `w3m-standalone': use w3m;
| `links': use links;
| `lynx' : use lynx;
| `html2text' : use html2text;
| nil    : use external viewer.
| 
| You can customize this variable.

Bye, Reiner.

which one is the most used ? Which has the nicest output ? Which has the most configuration possibilities ?
which one has the best support in the future ?

or is there a survey somewhere ?

I think most people like emacs-w3m best. w3 is nice, too but I think
it's development has stopped.

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.

You can try w3m alongside with emacs-s3m mode. It does better job with
international text.
