not forward html part?

not forward html part?

[Michael]

Hi, as you know, some people wrote emails in an "intelligent" mailer that
sends out both a plain text and an HTML part.  Gnus would only show the
plain text which is not problem.

When I forward these emails though, both parts are forwarded.  How can I
strip off the HTML part and only forward the text?

Thanks

Michael

How about using the `C-d' command (in the summary buffer) that
divides such a mail into parts?

Thanks for telling me the command.  It was not obvious to me what it does
until I tried it.

It does help so I can select which part to forward.  But how about if I want
to forward more than one part (i.e., also including the attachment?)

In any group, including the nndoc-group (in which there are
divided parts), mark articles that you want to forward by typing
the `#' key, and then type `C-c C-f' (or `S o m').  Any part
that looks as follows can be deleted after composing a message
buffer.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<#mml type=message/rfc822>

[...]

<#/mml>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You can also delete even the `<#multipart type=digest>' tag at
the beginning of a message body, and the `<#/multipart>' tag at
the end.

In addition, I recommend using the `C-c C-m P' (or `M-x
mml-preview') command before sending a message in order to check
whether it will be encoded properly.  If given a prefix argument,
it shows an encoded message in the raw form.

I was hoping some automatic way of doing this.  If not at the time of
composing the buffer, perhaps a function to delete it afterward.  The HTML
code can be quite long (i.e., from Outlook) and is nauseous to even look at.

Thanks,

Perform `M-x mml-quote-region' on the message if there are things
that look like MML tags (e.g. `<#multipart type=digest>') but
should be sent as is.  It cannot be automated.

I see.  But there is no such ready-made function AFAIK.  Try the
following (put it in your ~/.gnus.el file):


[-- Attachment #2: Type: application/emacs-lisp, Size: 1707 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 147 bytes --]


To disable this advice, type:

M-x ad-unadvise RET message-forward-make-body-mml RET

To enable it again, type:

M-x load-file RET ~/.gnus.el RET
