HTML-mail: extracted text appears twice

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

This behavior has annoyed me for some time:

When reading a html-mail (sent by GMAIL or thunderbird or whatsoever)
the text dis displayed twice and when I reply I have to delete one part
of it: something like this:

How can I change this behavior?


Hello

What you say is correct, but it would be better if you reconsider the
whole idea.


All the best

I've never seen this and since the primary email client at work is outlook just about all my email comes in as html, typically in the form of multipart/alternative with a plain text option as well. Perhaps you've customized one of the variables dealing with multipart display with this bad side effect?

Hm yes this could be the reason:

My setting is:



(setq gnus-mime-display-multipart-related-as-mixed t)
(setq gnus-mime-display-multipart-as-mixed t)
(setq gnus-buttonized-mime-types nil)


(setq
mm-discouraged-alternatives nil
gnus-buttonized-mime-types '("multipart/signed" "multipart/encrypted")
mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m
mm-url-use-external t)

I added
(setq
mm-automatic-display (remove "text/html" mm-automatic-display))

And now I see things like

I too have just started seeing this problem in my rss feeds, and its
always preceded by this when they are initially read
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
nnrss: http://www.sharons.org.uk/?feed=rss2: Not valid XML (error XML:
(Well-Formed) Invalid character) and w3-parse doesn't work
(void-function w3-parse-buffer)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I'm using the lisp stanza from http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusRss
under the heading of "Atom feeds".

Is there any solution please?

Thanks
Sharon.

I have this in my .emacs, which basically adds buttons if there's anything besides a pure text/plain message. My view of the typical multipart/alternative (text/plain and text/html) messages I get from outlook is something like this:

(*) text/plain ( ) text/html

Message text here ...

If I want the html to be rendered (I use shr) which I occasionally do for dealing with forms, I middle click on the text/html button and that causes it to render in the article buffer. When I reply with original, I get a version of whichever is being displayed in the article buffer at the time.

;;;; show the text/plain part before the text/html part in multpart/alternative

(require 'mm-decode)

(setq gnus-inhibit-mime-unbuttonizing t
mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html"))

(Setq gnus-inhibit-mime-unbuttonizing t

Thanks meanwhile I found out that the essential setting is

(Setq gnus-mime-display-multipart-alternative-as-mixed nil)
(setq gnus-mime-display-multipart-related-as-mixed nil)
(setq gnus-mime-display-multipart-as-mixed nil)

Rationale for t values:
;; Comments: LaTeX: if you want to display automatically the png
;; pictures generated by `org-preview-latex-fragment' you should set
;; these three multipart variables to t. However this is very annoying
;; if you receive html mail, its text gets doubled. So it is better to
;; set them to `nil' and use the function `article-treat-org-preview'
