Re: [VM] html mail: both external and w3m?
emacs user writes: so the recommended advice in the u-vm-color file header is to use ;; (defadvice vm-decode-mime-message (after u-vm-color activate) ;;(u-vm-color-fontify-buffer-even-more)) this function does (widen), and perhaps that's too much of a widening? Yes, in fact, u-vm-color warns you that doing this will slow things down. Unfortunately, VM's message displaying code is very complicated with the control going back and forth between vm-decode-mime-message, vm-present-current-message and vm-show-current-message. The way things stand, it is probably not possible to write u-vm-color properly. Those advices should not be necessary in an ideal world. I will have to find time to straighten this out at some point... Cheers, Uday

I have it on my to-do list to investigate it. One guess is is that u-vm-color doesn't handle attachments well. You might try turning it off and seeing if it makes a difference. Hi Uday, this seems to even happen for a message of the type Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 with no attachments and a length of about 100 characters. as far as I could see the slow part is in the following lines at the very end of vm-decode-mime-message: (vm-display nil nil '(vm-decode-mime-message) '(vm-decode-mime-message reading-message))) although I couldn't go beyond that in spite of several tries. thanks for the ideas below, they don't exactly address the issue, but it's not critical in any case. cheers, E A possible idea here is to *always* display buttons for non-text/plain parts, so that we can easily fire up external viewers. I will put it on the wishlist. also, could anyone suggest how I might: (1) define a function that displays a given message using an external browser, so that I can bind it to some key; (2) is it possible to view every message both in the presentation buffer and in an external browser, simultaneously, side by side? on a large monitor this may be a great option to have...? cheers, E There is no built-in function to display a message in an external viewer. One has to get the button view first (using `D') and then do ']' and '$e'. You can try making a keyboard macro for it if it is needed often. Viewing the message in both VM and external browser is easy if it is a multipart/alternative message. Just set `vm-mime-multipart-show-method' to `all' and use the external browser for html. You get the plain text version shown in VM and the html version shown externally. If it is not a multipart/alternative message and the message has just one text/html part, then there is currently no way to feed it to an external viewer while also displaying it in VM. Cheers, Uday
