Re: Gnus html again

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
