Hi!

I just discovered w3m-mode (version 1.0).  How do I display images
with an external viewer (like xv)?  This is my current setup:

(autoload 'w3m "w3m" "Interface for w3m on Emacs." t)
(setq w3m-coding-system 'iso-8859-1
      w3m-input-coding-system 'iso-8859-1
      w3m-output-coding-system 'iso-8859-1
      w3m-arrived-file-coding-system 'iso-8859-1
      w3m-mailto-url-function 'compose-mail
      w3m-default-save-directory "~/tmp/down/")

Saying `I' on an image (<IMG SRC="..."> or <A HREF="..."> makes no
difference) offers me to save the image.  

There is a variable called `w3m-display-inline-image' but setting it
to `t' doesn't make any difference.  Perhaps this setting does only
make sense for XEmacs and Emacs 21.

Cheers, Ray

Yes, with Emacs 21 you will get inline images -- very nice. w3m.el is
a nice browser, how can I use this mode in Gnus for rendering
html-Mails?

How will this work for the console?
Will it try to launch an external viewer much like links or w3m does?

It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.

Add this to your .gnus file:

(defadvice mm-inline-text (around use-w3m-instead (handle) activate)
  (let ((type (mm-handle-media-subtype handle)))
    (if (not (equal type "html"))
        ad-do-it
      (let ((text (mm-get-part handle))
            (b (point)))
        (save-excursion
          (insert text)
          (save-restriction
            (narrow-to-region b (point))
            (goto-char (point-min))
            (w3m-region (point-min) (point-max)))
          (mm-handle-set-undisplayer
           handle
           `(lambda ()
              (let (buffer-read-only)
                (if (functionp 'remove-specifier)
                    (mapcar (lambda (prop)
                              (remove-specifier
                               (face-property 'default prop)
                               (current-buffer)))
                            '(background background-pixmap foreground)))
                (delete-region ,(point-min-marker)
                               ,(point-max-marker))))))))))

Wow, that works great - much better and faster than W3!

The only problem is that it does nothing when you mouse-2 on links
(although they are still highlighted).
Is there any way of getting it to invoke browse-url (or equivalent)?

Cheers,
Mike

<ug0buh07g....@ariel.co.uk> divulged:

isn't w3m-mode just w3m running in a term-mode buffer?  if so it's unlikely
that you can invoke emacs functions, though you might be able to convince
w3m to use the mouse itself.

okay, have a sig then

Definitely not.  I'm sure John's emacs-w3m washing could be
modified (well, actually it is emacs-w3m's rendering code that has
to be modified/augmented/adviced/whateva) to do the same thing the
default W3 washing does, but I don't really have any need to read
HTML mails so I won't be doing that :)

try this.

(defvar gnus-w3m-minor-mode nil)

(make-variable-buffer-local 'gnus-w3m-minor-mode)
(add-to-list 'minor-mode-alist '(gnus-w3m-minor-mode " w3m"))
(add-to-list 'minor-mode-map-alist (cons 'gnus-w3m-minor-mode w3m-mode-map))

(defadvice mm-inline-text (around use-w3m-instead (handle) activate)
  (let ((type (mm-handle-media-subtype handle)))
    (if (not (equal type "html"))
        ad-do-it
      (let ((text (mm-get-part handle))
            (b (point)))
        (save-excursion
          (insert text)
          (save-restriction
            (narrow-to-region b (point))
            (goto-char (point-min))
            (w3m-region (point-min) (point-max))
+           (setq gnus-w3m-minor-mode t))
          (mm-handle-set-undisplayer
           handle
           `(lambda ()
              (let (buffer-read-only)
+               (setq gnus-w3m-minor-mode nil)
                (if (functionp 'remove-specifier)
                    (mapcar (lambda (prop)
                              (remove-specifier
                               (face-property 'default prop)
                               (current-buffer)))
                            '(background background-pixmap foreground)))
                (delete-region ,(point-min-marker)
                               ,(point-max-marker))))))))))

That does what I want, thanks!

Cheers,
Mike

That works great here, too.
But if I haven't started emacs-w3m before I start gnus, I get an error
complaining about w3m-region (which I can fix with
(autoload 'w3m-region "w3m") )
and about an unbound variable, w3m-mode-map.
What's the best way to handle that?

as long as it's somewhere in your load-path either (load-library "w3m") or
(require 'w3m).

Ah, I had been loading the individual functions that I used.

Thanks!
