Subject: edit a w3 rendered message
Date: 11 Nov 1999 22:08:00 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m37ljoi6nz.fsf@satellite.local.lan> (raw)


I get messages occasionally that contain an HTML index of some *.jpg
files along with the attached *.jpg's

Its a mavica (sony) digital camera that writes in dos format to a
floppy.  The HTML is stupidly formatted in all caps (the file names
too) making it useless on unix/machines.  Example:

[...]
<P><A HREF="MVC-001F.JPG">MVC-001F.JPG</A>  1999  4 15 10:32:04 AM   
<P><A HREF="MVC-002F.JPG">MVC-002F.JPG</A>  1999  4 15 10:52:06 AM   
[...]

Because of this sillyness the links are useless unless they are edited
to look like the files they point to (ie .jpg).

I can save the jpeg files and rewrite the HTML with sed, of course but
would rather handle it right in the gnus buffer.  However any attempts
to edit give the message:

"fontifiying article*  buffer too big."

If one presses "C-g" at this point, you get a buffer that allows
editing but cannot be saved.  Giving the message:
"Wrong type argument: window-configuration-p, nil"


Is it even possible to edit an HTML message once w3 has rendered it,
using 'gnus-summary-edit-article' function?
