Displaying HTML with Netscape?

Displaying HTML with Netscape?

[Kai.Grossjohann]

When I get a multipart message, HTML parts are by default displayed
with W3.  I like this.  However, _sometimes_ I would like to display
the HTML using Netscape -- what's the most convenient way to do this?

Does 

     `gnus-article-interactively-view-part'


     Interactive compiled Lisp function:

       arguments: (n)

         View MIME part N interactively, which is the numerical prefix.

do what you want? It's not bound on the K map (I think it should be)
but it is on the menu you get when you right click on the part's
button.  I'm not sure, but I wonder if K e
(gnus-article-externalize-part) will work too?

Yay!  I added stuff to ~/.mailcap, typed `2 K e', and lo! Netscape
opened a new window to show me the HTML.  Thanks!

Netscape's operation.  Hm.  Hadn't though of that.

But this setting isn't used if Gnus is displaying the HTML inline.  It
is only used for external viewing, i.e. if you say `K e'.

I assume that Netscape doesn't have a problem with this, either, since
it also groks HTML internally.
