Gnus html again

Gnus html again

[Roger Mason]

Hi,

First thanks to those who replied to my previous posting (Gnus &
html).  That request for help was stimulated by the following error
(in the minibuffer) on trying to open some messages:

Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil

The following is the header information of a message that produces the
error:

I have no clue what is going on here and therefore no idea of the fix.

Can anyone help?

Thanks for your patience.

Thanks to a suggestion from Nick Dokos, I have a backtrace:

It is
evident from this that gnus is using w3 to decode html.  However,
although I have w3 installed I have never been able to get it to work
reliably so I use w3m as my emacs browser.  I wish to use w3m to
decode inline html also.

mm-inline-media-tests includes the entry: ("text/html" mm-inline-text
(lambda (handle) (locate-library "w3m")))

which is set in my .emacs through the customization mechanism.

It appears that some other variable needs to be set: but which one(s)?

Thanks,

Roger Mason

I can't reproduce this particular error.  Maybe it's fixed in a newer
version of W3.

It's very simple in Gnus 5.10 -- all you need is:

     (setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)

I don't remember how to do it in Gnus 5.9.
