mc's ability to view many different file formats, automagically, by <F3> is really nice. And especially the way it's not hardwired in, but can just be added/extended as new formats evolve.
I'm on some mailing-lists which previously used plain-text, as is appropriate since they don't benefit from MIME, but were apparently convinced by the marketers that they 'must have the latest'. For good reasons I want to receive and read these posts with my old reader which doesn't handle MIME and show the eg. "=20" crap. Q1. has linux got a basic 'de-MIMER' ? Perhaps lynx can do it, the way lynx nicely handles mc/<F3> for *.html ? Q2. how would I add it to the existin <F3> repetoir ? Could I give the 'files needing to be dispalyed as de-MIMED with their own file.extention ? Or else one could simply: <deMime> <FileID> ">" <newFileID> and then use standard <F3> to view <newFileID> ? BTW. re my previous query, for the mc version that I'm using, under X: <Alt>/<enter> puts the selected FileId to the commond line, as <Ctrl>/<enter> does under VT. And it's in the docos. == Chris Glur. PS. what I hate more than MIME email, is html, but mc handles that too ! _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
