I do the following:-
In my muttrc file I have:-
auto_view text/html
In my .mailcap I have:-
text/html; /usr/bin/firefox %s
text/html; links -dump %s -html-numbered-links 1; copiousoutput;
nametemplate=%s.html
This means that HTML E-Mails are automatically shown within mutt as text
by links (obviously you can use lynx, w3m or whatever). Then if I want
to view the E-Mail in a GUI browser I v[iew] the message and hit return
against the .html version to pop the message up in firefox (again you
can obviously select whatever GUI browser you want).
I believe it's the 'copiousoutput' that's necessary to make it work like
this.
