hooray! mu4e/cygwin viewing html mail in comodo container

[thirdsh...@gmail.com]

Hi-

(add-to-list 'browse-url-filename-alist

                '("/tmp/" .  "file:///cygdrive/c/cygwin64/tmp/"))

                 

                 

  (setq browse-url-filename-alist

          '(("/webmaster@webserver:/home/www/html/" .

             "http://www.acme.co.uk/")

            ("^/\(ftp@\|anonymous@\)?\([^:]+\):/*" . "ftp://\2/")

            ("^/\([^:@]+@\)?\([^:]+\):/*" . "ftp://\1\2/")

           ("^/+" . "file:/")))

The part that I changed is I commented out my 

;; (setq gnus-button-url 'browse-url-generic

;;          browse-url-generic-program "/cygdrive/c/cgwin64/bin/midori.exe")

 ;;         browse-url-browser-function gnus-button-url)

for some reason I couldn't get that browse-url-generic to run right with comodo. I was working on getting it the browser to display

with bash because I didn't know lisp so I commented it out for testing using bash.

When I did comment it out, it works correct.

I had code like this testing in a bash command line just to see what would happen:

 exec '/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Comodo/Dragon/Dragon.exe' "$(cygpath -aw "/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/tmp/test.html")"

Just invoke mu4e-view-action V if comodo dragon is your default browser and it will work.

so after MUCH struggling it is actually very easy to run comodo dragon and view a html message in a container in comdo from emacs with mu4e.

sorry if this seems very basic.

I still haven't bought a emacs lisp book.

I will definitely buy one very soon after this.

thx. -
