Thank you for your reply, but that didn't work, either. However, I tried replacing the second text/html entry from /etc/mailcap with: text/html; /usr/bin/firefox %s; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html and if I had "auto_view text/html" in my .muttrc file, it would open a firefox tab as soon as I open the mail message. If I comment that line out, it won't display the html in a firefox window even when I select that part of the mail... -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot.
