Displaying images in nnrss feeds

Displaying images in nnrss feeds

[Peter Russell]

Hello,

I've just started to migrate to Gnus as my mail and news client (I got
sick of Gnome's Evolution, so I thought I'd try out the mail client of
my other favourite environment).  So far I think I like it, but I
think I've still got a lot to learn.

One of the things I really like is the support for RSS feeds.

I've added the RSS feed for http://planet.gnome.org, which is always a
pretty interesting read, and I'm impressed by how well it works.  Some
of the posts on the feed have "hackergotchis", images of the poster
which are attached to posts.  These appear in Gnus as text like this:

[jdub]

And when I put the point over them, and press enter the images are
downloaded and displayed inline.

Is it possible to make these images display by default?  I can't find
any option to do this.

I'd really like all images in posts to be displayed by default, but
it's the hackergotchis I care more about.

Thanks

You've set `mm-text-html-renderer' to `w3m'.  Right?

There is a way to do that if you use emacs-w3m.  Try putting the
following forms in your ~/.gnus.el file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; Set the default values of `mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp'
;; and `mm-inline-text-html-with-images'.
(eval-after-load "gnus-sum"
  '(progn
     (add-to-list 'gnus-newsgroup-variables
		  '(mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp . "\\`cid:"))
     (add-to-list 'gnus-newsgroup-variables
		  '(mm-inline-text-html-with-images . nil))))

;; Display images inline in `nnrss' groups.
(add-to-list 'gnus-parameters
	     '("\\`nnrss:"
	       (mm-inline-text-html-with-images t)
	       (mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp nil)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You can find a similar example in the Gnus manual:

(info "(gnus)RSS") <- Type `C-x C-e' here.

The Emacs MIME manual will be helpful as well:

(info "(emacs-mime)Display Customization")

Regards,

Well, I didn't set it, but that is it's value.  I guess installing the
emacs-w3m package must have set it.

Brilliant, that worked perfectly.

I think I'm going to like having mail and news inside emacs :-)

Bookmarked.

Thanks very much for your fast and helpful reply.
