Hi all,

Wondering what folk use these days to render HTML emails in a terminal
window?  I've an old recipe which I picked up from the list as follows:

  mhshow-show-text/html: env SOCKS_SERVER="127.0.0.1:1" socksify w3m -T 
text/html -dump -o display_image=false -o display_link_number=true '%f' -cols 80

The invocation of socksify is supposed to prevent w3m from following any
content linked in the page (email-has-been-opened type spyware), but
that's not causing me any trouble that I'm aware of: w3m is though,
slightly.  It seems that lots of messages I receive these days arrive
with a content preview which gets excluded by embedded CSS when rendered
using my desktop browser, but not by w3m.  This has the effect that HTML
messages often start with a short paragraph ending "...", followed
immediately by (usually) almost exactly the same text again.

(the recipe is also annoying because w3m actually almost never renders
to 80 columns for some reason)

Any better approaches you've come across?

Conrad
