Philip -- ...and then Philip Mak said... % % I had an interesting little idea on how to view HTML files on my desktop % web browser, even though I'm running mutt through SSH! % % I put this in my .mailcap: % % text/html; opera %s
What a funny name for your mozilla wrapper script ;-) % % "opera" is a simple perl script to rename the attachment to a value that % is guaranteed to be unique (<time>_<pid>.html), invoke "sz" on the file % (using the ZMODEM protocol to send the file to my computer, since my ssh % client supports ZMODEM), and then print a special string that gets picked % up by a trigger in my SSH client, which invokes my web browser to open the % file. Neat. % % So, just by viewing the attachment in mutt, I can have it show up on my % web browser, over SSH. % % I found this trick to be more interesting than useful, though; I rarely % have a need to view bloated HTML e-mail. It's also a bit slow. Yeah, but cool tricks are *fun* :-) Thanks! :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
