you can add 'text/html; lynx -force_html %s' to ~/.mailcap . then use 'v' in Mutt to call up a list of parts of the e-mail & when you hit 'Return' on an HTML item, it will open with Lynx. > Though it's definitely the most hardcore email client out there Mutt is for real men of both sexes (grin). i've used it for years -- on Irix before Linux -- & have never found a reason to go over to a GUI. it's a pity no-one has created a GUI front-end for Mutt like Gvim for Vim, ie keeping all Mutt's key commands & simplicity, but adding a few GUI capabilities like opening > 1 window, mouse-scrolling. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [email protected] mailing list
