* Custom notmuch-show for html?

Hey there,

I would like to never use emacs' slow html renderer when viewing
html-only email. What I want to do is pipe the html through:

  pandoc -f html -t plain

and then show the output of that. Right now I can do this with `. |` but
I can only do this after I open the email, which is not ideal.

What would be the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Writing one's own renderer function and pointing mm-text-html-renderer
to that (or something...)

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--
mm-text-html-renderer is a variable defined in ‘mm-decode.el’.
Its value is ‘shr’

Documentation:
Render of HTML contents.
It is one of defined renderer types, or a rendering function.
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--

If you try to work something on this (or anything), please report your
progress :D

I didn't really get far after I discovered how awesome emacs-w3m was.
pandoc plaintext output is pretty bad in comparison.

Thanks again!

So, you set mm-text-html-renderer as 'w3m

?

Yeah, but I had to install w3m and install the w3m package before it
worked. The w3m-standalone one worked but was a bit slower and didn't seem
to work as well.

Cheers,
William
