avoiding w3 following embedded URLs

avoiding w3 following embedded URLs

[Derrell.Lipman]

How do I tell w3 not to follow embedded URLs in a received HTML message?  Most
of the time, I avoid HTML completely by preferring the text/plain alternative
when it is available.  When it isn't, though, I'd like to just display whatever
HTML there is in the message itself without any URLs being followed.
"M-x apropos w3" didn't show anything that seemed encouraging...

Thanks,

Derrell

How about using a w3m (the best for this purpose IMO), links or lynx
for this purpose? As you use Oort, you can say something like

(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)

in .gnus (at least with recent Oorts, you might have to update)
