The script is (was) wrong. withstdin was actually a differently purposed script and did exhibit that behaviour. I have modified it. Invoke the new version like this: text/html; withstdin --keep --ext=.html open -a Chrome <%s | Also, I note that I have to give full path to Chrome and withstdin | in the mailcap entry. Don't quite get that... I see /usr/local/bin | in $PATH and `which' sees the scripts and the symlink.... I'm surprised you need a full path to withstdin if it is in your usualy stuff (as found by which, for example). You really should not need a full path for Chrome at all if it is a normal app. Unless its name isn't plain "Chrome" but something longer like "Google Chrome". Command-Tab should show the app names. Please refetch the updated script (realised my error after my earlier post, have been modifying the script meanwhile). Let me know if it is any better for you.
