Just a point of clarification: Most UNIX users can actually handle
text/html pretty easily, but they don't necessarily know how. Here's
how:
If your mail tool reads ".mailcap" files -- which most UNIX mail tools
do, nowadays, either internally or by calling the metamail program --
all you have to do is add something the following line to the file
".mailcap" in your home directory:
text/html; cp %s /tmp/latest.html \; netscape -remote
"openURL(file:/tmp/latest.html)" \; echo LOOK IN THE NETSCAPE WINDOW
Yes, that's all one line. Assuming that you already have the netscape
program running in another window, this will do the trick. So I
personally don't think that it is reasonable to assume that text/html is
beyond the reach of us old fuddy-duddies using UNIX-based mail tools.
