display *all* images inline?

display *all* images inline?

[Bill White]

With cvs gnus and emacs 21, I can display attached pictures in the
*Article* buffer.  Yay!  The problem is that not all pictures are
displayed there; some are handed off to an external viewer, and the
criterion used seems to be the size of the picture.

Is there a way to make all attached pictures display in the *Article*
buffer, regardless of size, or is this a Dumb Thing To Do?

Cheers -

   Set `mm-inline-large-images' to t.

Yes, Gnus checks image dimensions against current frame or buffer size.

In .gnus:

(require 'mm-decode)
(defun mm-image-fit-p (handle)
  "Say whether the image in HANDLE will fit the current window."
  t)                        ; just say "yes", always.

Dumb?  Depends on whether you like trying to scroll around images.

I am not sure, but wouldn't it be better to say

(setq mm-inline-large-images t)

It sure would.  But that variable didn't exist back when I was first
wanting to display all images inline, and I didn't know of it until
today.  The setq is the right way, of course.
