[gentoo-user] problems with mutt and mimetypes
I'm having trouble with mutt opening other applications for various mime types. I'm sure this worked last month, and from what I can see, I had mutt-1.5.20-r18 and firefox-3.6.13. I now have mutt-1.5.21-r1 and firefox-3.6.15. mutt -nF /dev/null -Q mailcap_path gives me: mailcap_path=~/.mailcap:/usr/share/mutt/mailcap:/etc/mutt/mailcap:/etc/mailcap:/usr/etc/mailcap:/usr/local/etc/mailcap I have nothing for the tag text/html in my muttrc file. I have text/html; firefox %s in my ~/.mailcap file. I have the following in /etc/mailcap: text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force_html '%s'; needsterminal; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -dump -force_html '%s'; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html and if I put auto_view in my muttrc file, it will try to open the files with lynx. Yet putting the firefox %s command into /etc/mailcap doesn't open firefox. All the docs I can find seem to indicates that what I have configured should try to open firefox like it used to, but it isn't. Is there perhaps some type of connecting package that needed to be rebuild with firefox for this to work? -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot.

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.
