hello, i wonder how i could see received messages with bold, italic or underlined text. Or text with colored words or text with different font sizes. my wife sends messages with thunderbird, but inside gnus these things are gone. Is it possible with gnus to show the messages with these attributes? regards Poul

Are you talking about emails in HTML format, and/or in both text and
HTML?
The default is to render them with shr, which does a pretty good job of
showing such formatting.
Do you have an example you can share?
Do you have any configuration set up to prefer text/ignore HTML?
E.g. I have:
;; Don't display html inline
(setq
mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/richtext" "text/enriched")
mm-automatic-display (remove "text/html" mm-automatic-display))
which is the opposite of what you want. At work I have configured Gnus
the other way around, i.e. to display text/html.
What is the value of mm-text-html-renderer in your setup?
,----[ C-h v mm-text-html-renderer RET ]
| mm-text-html-renderer is a variable defined in ‘mm-decode.el’.
|
| Its value is ‘shr’
|
| You can customize this variable.
| This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
| version 27.1 of Emacs.
| Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 27.1.
|
| Render of HTML contents.
| It is one of defined renderer types, or a rendering function.
| The defined renderer types are:
| ‘shr’: use the built-in Gnus HTML renderer;
| ‘gnus-w3m’: use Gnus renderer based on w3m;
| ‘w3m’: use emacs-w3m;
| ‘w3m-standalone’: use plain w3m;
| ‘links’: use links;
| ‘lynx’: use lynx;
| ‘html2text’: use html2text.
`----
In my experience the default, shr, is preferable for HTML email.
Best regards,
Adam

No. I'm guessing it is something in your configuration. Have you changed
it to display the HTML part or the text part?

I changed it to display html part.
Perhaps an issue in my shr configuration or gnus?
I dont know 🤔

colors are correct.
bold, italics are correct.
font sizes not.
here is the raw html.
Ein, zwei W¶rter in unterschiedlichen <font size="-2">Gr¶en</font>

so i guess a render component don't recognize the html font size factor.
Any ideas?

Hi Adam.
Your comment above scratched an itch I've had for several years now, at
last I can see html-like emails using 'shr'. Before I used 'w3m', and I
could right-click a link and then copy the url to the clipboard for
pasting into a browser. Unfortunately I've now lost that ability through
using 'shr'.
Do you know how I can regain the right-click of the mouse ability please?
Thanks
Sharon.

No. However, if I left-click on a link in an article, it opens in my default browser. If I press u with point on the link in the article, the URL is copied to the clipboard. If I press w in the *Summary* buffer, Gnus will open the link in the article in my default browser - prompting if there is more than one link. Are any of those options useful for you?
