Gosh mutt showed me his post just fine. Only after your note did I
even notice that lynx had been invoked to show me that message.
Could it be, Darxus, lover of mutt, that your copy of mutt is not
configured properly:
In .muttrc:
auto_view text/html
In .mailcap:
text/html; lynx %s; nametemplate=%s.html
text/html; lynx -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput
Incidentally, if you add
application/msword; catdoc %s ; copiousoutput
you will see MSWord documents inline, too, instead of just seeing
annoying attachments. I get a pleasant frisson from seeing people's
content easily knowing that the carefully crafted formatting that they
misguidedly placed in Word format has been tossed to the ether for my
viewing pleasure.
[As always, see freshmeat for things you don't have.]
I'm not saying that people shouldn't use text/plain intead of
text/html, but lots of people don't know how to change their MUA's.
And even if we get the list to behave well, others will still do
text/html in mail. So it seems worth telling mutt to make it all
academic.
