Opening an article (not a URL) in Firefox

Opening an article (not a URL) in Firefox

[levander]

When viewing a Gnus article, is there any way to click a button and
have it auto-opened in Firefox?

I don't mean click on a URL and have the URL opened in Firefox.  I
mean have the article itself rendered in Firefox.

Email messages I'm getting which are written in HTML really look awful
in Gnus' *Article*.  I've tried the gnus-article-wash-html function,
still awful.  Being able to click and open them in Firefox would solve
all the problems I'm having with this issue.  And really, it's be no
less convenient than how I read HTML messages in Thunderbird.  In that
mail client, I always have to click on HTML messages to open them in a
larger Thunderbird window anyway.  In gnus, opening them in Firefox
would be no less convenient...

What command does "K H" run?

It is undefined on my gnus.

`K H' runs the command gnus-article-browse-html-article

Leo, which version of Gnus are you using? On my install (Gnus v5.11), this
key-binding and the function `gnus-article-browse-html-article' does not exist.

Gnus from CVS.

You can see that from the header of my message:

,----
| User-Agent: Gnus/5.110007 Emacs/23.0.0 (20070616) Fedora 7 (gnu/linux)
`----

This is a new feature (2006-02-10) in the development version.  It's
not present in 5.10.8/5.11.

Bye, Reiner.

2006-02-10 is a date?  Does that mean there's a development version of
Gnus that is almost a year and a half old and hasn't been released
yet?  It just sounds like a long development cycle.

Yes: Year-Month-Day. It is the ISO standardized order (and as a bonus it
is easy to sort on, and unambiguous).

You are using Emacs, where the latest release cycle was 6 years, so 1.5
years surely is a short amount of time to you? ;-)

The conservative users (or the users that do not need/care about newer
features) usually run the non-developement version, while the rest of us
take the chance and run the developement version (currently called "No
Gnus") - knowing that bad things may happen(tm). My experience is that
it very seldom breaks.


  Best regards,
