Yesterday, in my post about sending HTML emails with mu4e, I noted that being able to send HTML emails is only half the problem; probably the easiest half. The hard part is being able to read a properly rendered<\/i> email form within mu4e. Eww sometimes works\u2014sort of\u2014but some emails (Amazon is a notable guilty party here) are simply unreadable without a trip to the browser. It\u2019s not that hard to pop up a browser tab and then delete it when you\u2019re done but that\u2019s extra work and violates the stay-in-Emacs rule that many of us try to live by.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re an X user, RichieHHam has a possible answer for you. He has a reddit post that describes how to use XWidgets to read emails from within Emacs<\/a>. Sadly, if you\u2019re a Mac user like me, this solution is not available to you\u2014at least not easily.<\/p>\n Being a Mac user also means I can\u2019t try this out so I have no idea how well it works. If you\u2019re a Linux user and try it out, leave a comment to let other Irreal readers running Linux know.<\/p>\n Afterword<\/b> Yesterday, in my post about sending HTML emails with mu4e, I noted that being able to send HTML emails is only half the problem; probably the easiest half.

\nAfter I wrote this, I nosed around the Internet a bit and discovered that there are<\/i> some XWidget solutions for macOS but I have no idea if they would work with RichieHHam\u2019s HTML email setup. Really, the best solution is for Emacs to accurately render HTML natively but that\u2019s not trivial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
