Any chance to support gmane.io / gwene.org posts?

tr_usen

Hi,
I am a long term user of the gmane (mailing list to news gateway) as well of the gwene (web forum to news gateway) services.
Mainly to read mailing lists or web forums in my nntp news reader.
Maybe it is to much work or even not wanted, but at least I dare to ask, if it would possible to read these posts with Usenapp?
Currently lots of gmane-posts are only displayed crippled, as they are often multi-part mail messages and Usenapp does seems not to be able to display them (e.g. the plain text part).
One example: The post shown here: https://l.extgw.net/TjieI of the bacula user mailing list) is display in Usenapp only as:
`

Bacula-users mailing list
Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
`

gwene posts will probably even more problematic as they are plain html.

So gmane posts may be easier?

But I totally understand, if this feature is (at least for now) out of scope?

Usenapp is currently supporting some basic mime / html messages, but very experimental.
At a later phase html message will be fully supported.

Andre At a later phase html message will be fully supported.

But please include a switch to turn it off. I´m a huge fan of plaintext and don´t want any HTML in Mail or Usentet.
I´m fine when other people like HTML and don´t care for security as long as I´m able to turn it off (the HTML, not the security ;-).

Andre

Bernd But please include a switch to turn it off

Yes, there will be a switch to turn this off.

I also don't care about interpreting the html. The main thing would be the plain text part of mailings from mailing list and with web forum posts, for me it would be okay to just strip the tags from the output.
At the moment they are displayed like so:
Hallo, ich stehe derzeit ein wenig auf dem Schlauch und bräuchte mal nen Denkanstoß. Ich bin dabei einen Hostserver mit Proxmox 6.1-5 unter Debian 10 auf einem Hetzner-Server für mehrere Gateways (für Multi-Domän) einzurichten. Ich habe von Hetzner eine IPv4 und nen IPv6/64 Subnet. Testweise habe ich 2 vGateways (Debian10, batman, fastd, etc…) komplett eingerichtet. Das funktioniert soweit auch einwandfrei. Ich kann mich mit einem Gluon-Node mit den vGW’s verbinden. Clients bekommen dann nen IPv4 und IPv6. Das v4-Netz ist per masquerading geNATet und nen Ping funktioniert einwandfrei. Was aber nicht klappt ist nen Ping per IPv6. Also es geht gar kein Traffic per v6 raus… Bisher verteile das v6 Subnetz einfach per radvd im Clientnetz. Wenn ich einen Ping von einem Client mache, sehe ich den Ping per tcpdump auch über alle interfaces nach draußen gehen und bekomme auch eine Antwort am WAN des Proxmox, diese gibt aber zurück, das die Client-IPv6 nicht gefunden werden kann. Also ein Routing Problem? Da stellt sich mir grundsätzlich die Frage, das v6 Netz auch per masquerading verstecken? Oder den vGW’s jeweils nen eigenes IPv6-Subnet für die Clients zuordnen? Wie macht Ihr das? Gruß Helmut <a href="https://forum.freifunk.net/t/ipv6-fuer-virtuelle-gateways-unter-proxmox-bei-hetzner-einrichten/21821/1">Link</a>

So especially because I prefer plain text, I find it sometimes helpful the be able to read web forums in nntp news reader (via gwene) instead in a browser...

But of course as stated before: This is probably not very high on your priority list and that's fine with me..

tr_usen for me it would be okay to just strip the tags from the output.

Yes, that would be a good solution. I do the same in my mailprogram. Convert tags like and just strip all the rest. Can be a bit of a pain with href though since you still want to see the links in the plaintext.

What is the main reason that you want all html being stripped?
Does that has to do with security (javascript) or don't you want the fancy rich coloured text in the messages?

It´s about security (javascript, webbugs, etc.).
If you strip all that stuff and somehow preserve the color that would be fine with me (as long as you don´t follow any links to download external stylesheets, fonts, ... .)
I think it would be easiest (and safest) to just strip all that stuff and only display the plain text.
