I'm trying to use emacs as an alternative pager for mutt. Specifically, I'd like to use the gnus Article mode to display articles. I've tried just setting emacsclient as the pager, but I have some questions:
1) What exactly is passed to the pager? From my experiments, it appears the message is pre-formatted before passing it to the pager. That prevents me from latting the pager format it, so I'd like to avoid this. I tried moving my .mailcap file, but I'm still seeing already formatted messages. Is there any way to get mutt to send the whole raw message to the pager? 2) Does mutt use the same temp filename for passing to the pager that it uses for passing to the editor? I'd like to be able to distinguish in emacs, so that pager output gets displayed in gnus Article mode, and replies, etc. that I'm editing get opened in Mail mode. 3) Is there some way to keep mutt active while a message is being displayed by a pager? Ultimately, I'd like to have mutt open in emacs in one window, and message contents displayed in Article mode in another window. Then I'd like to be able to use keystrokes in the mutt window to move to different messages, mailboxes, etc. Is there some more detailed doc. about defining alternate pagers somewhere? All I see in the manual is that you can specify an external pager. Thank you. -pd -- ---- Peter Davis The Tech Curmudgeon www.techcurmudgeon.com
