Ok, I have a particular friend who sends me HTML mail all the time.
Ordinarily, I'd simply ask her not to, but a) she's not very technical,
and more importantly b) she's teaching me Korean, so it is actually
quite useful to be able to mark up parts of the e-mail with HTML (such
as when making corrections, etc.) at times.
Lynx seems to be becoming too antiquated to handle all the snazy new
features of HTML. Like, it seems to be ignoring CSS, and can't render
text in different colors (when used with --dump), etc. The former is
especially a problem, because (for reasons I can't quite identify)
lynx seems to want to format the entire message as centered text,
which as you might imagine is extremely annoying. Are people using
any text-based HTML viewers that can do a better job?
Ordinarily I'd just pop up a mozilla window to view the text, but that
leaves me with 2 problems:
- my mail system is in Massachusetts, and I am currently in Korea.
My connection across the pond is still really slow for running
remote X clients, no matter how "fast" it may be.
- It doesn't help much when replying to the messages.
All suggestions are welcome. Obviously I've been around here long
enough to know about the existence of both links and w3m, but I have
neither installed and I'm not familiar with them. Due to specifics I
won't go into, finding and installing new software on my mail server
is a bit tedious, so before I try something, I'd prefer to have some
idea that it will do what I want.
Thanks!
