Well, emacs is usually a text editor, so when you open a HTML file
it's pretty reasonable to assume that what you want to do is to edit
it ;)

To achieve the effect you want while using the Sunrise Commander do
the following:

1a) M-x customize-variable [RET] browse-url-browser-function [RET]
1b) Select "Emacs W3" from the value menu and press "Save for future
sessions"
2) Once in Sunrise, press "b" for viewing the file in the web browser.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
