Reading html email with firefox

Reading html email with firefox

[Chris Parsons]

Hi there

Something I was thinking of the other day... has anyone ever configured
gnus to read html email with a browser (such as firefox?)

I suppose to do this one would write a function to save the html part
and then boot up FF with the temporary url (maybe inserting a <BASE> tag
if necessary)...

Anyone got any pointers?

Cheers
Chris

For inline reading I have:

(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)
(setq mm-inline-text-html-renderer
      'mm-inline-text-html-render-with-w3m)
(eval-after-load "mm-decode"
  '(progn
     (add-to-list 'mm-discouraged-alternatives "text/html")
     (add-to-list 'mm-discouraged-alternatives "text/richtext")))

for browsing a link I have:

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-mozilla
      browse-url-mozilla-program "firefox"
;      browse-url-mozilla-arguments '("-a" "firefox")
      browse-url-new-window-flag t)

Perhaps some combination will render HTML mail externally ?

In the end I went for the following lisp to do it, which saves out the
html and calls browse-url. Renders all but cid links.

(defun chrismdp/save-and-view-in-browser (handle)
	"Save and view in browser"
	(interactive)
	(let ((filename (concat temporary-file-directory "tempgnus.htm")))
		(with-current-buffer gnus-article-buffer
			(mm-save-part-to-file handle filename)
			(browse-url filename))))
(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'chrismdp/save-and-view-in-browser)
