If so, how do you do it? I have this in my /etc/mailcap: text/html; /usr/bin/mozilla '%s'; description=HTML Text; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.html (should be single line, may wrap poorly) but to actually spawn mozilla for html mail, I have to hit V to view the parts of the email and then scroll down to the html part and hit enter. If you just want to follow the links in an email (rather than read html formatted email in a browser), use urlview. By default, mutt maps it to ctl-b here, and it presents you with a list of URL's in the email. Scroll down to the one you want, and it launches the appropriate mailcap entry. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | "It's kind of fun to do the | | steve@lobefin.net | impossible." -- Walt Disney | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
