Browsing in Emacs. TIL: Browsing (the web) in Emacs (in a couple of senses) really works well.

@ndw 1. When I get an email like that, the delete key is usually my go to, but you be you. 2. PDFs work too! ( in emacs)

@msokolov Delete is usually the right answer, but sometimes I feel like I have to check. PDFs absolutely work, but only mostly in my experience. There's, uh, wonderful variety in PDFs. One of my bank statements, for example, lays the transaction list text down in column-major order. (I think that works fine in Emacs, but getting the transactions out for Ledger is a PITA.)

@ndw I was gobsmacked when I discovered emacs would even try to render PDFs they are so uncanny. I will have to try this HTML feature though I'm doubtful it will handle all the things?
