I'm using the system's defaults since some long time ago. I guess the
relevant lines in my /etc/mailcap are:

  text/html; /usr/bin/sensible-browser '%s'; description=HTML Text; 
nametemplate=%s.html
  text/html; /usr/bin/iceweasel '%s'; description=HTML Text; test=test -n 
"$DISPLAY";  nametemplate=%s.html
  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

Years ago I used to have 
  text/html; w3m %s; needsterminal; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html
  text/html; w3m -dump %s; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text; 
nametemplate=%s.html
in my own .mailcap, in order to display html in a terminal, but now they
are commented out. 

So the question now is, what should I put in my .mailcap?

The other question is what changed? This problem seems to be very
recent in my setup.

Thanks and best regards,
Luis
