Some programs may be part of the alternatives systems, so you may need to follow the symlinks to find the canonical program used. On my system, etc/maicap lists these as possible html programs:
text/html; /usr/bin/w3m -T text/html '%s'; needsterminal; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force_html '%s'; needsterminal; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html text/html; /usr/bin/w3m -dump -T text/html '%s'; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html text/html; /usr/bin/html2text '%s'; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -dump -force_html '%s'; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html text/html; /usr/bin/sensible-browser '%s'; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html So, it chooses one of these ( I think it tries each one until it works). But in my case, I have .mailcap set like this: text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force_html '%s'; needsterminal; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=% so that forces it to use lynx. -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |_______ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed _______|
