No, the difficulty is not just that it exists<G>, it is how
my mutt occasionally deals with it.
I call up mutt from one of my terms(URxvt) and it displays my
E-mail from /var/spool/mail/alan, as is normal. With many
of my mails I press 'v' to get a display like
I 1 <no description> [multipa/alternativ, 7bit, 13K]
I 2 ├─><no description> [text/plain, quoted, utf-8, 1.6K]
I 3 └─><no description> [text/html, quoted, utf-8, 11K]
and use my arrow keys to get to the number 3, '[text/html, . . .'
I then press 'Enter' and _sometimes_ a tab opens on my browser to
display the interpreted content of the mail. This is what I want.
But _sometimes_ I get a tab: "Problem loading page" with a display
"File not found
Iceweasel can't find the file at /home/alan/tmp/mutt.html."
And this is true; there is nothing in my ~/tmp directory.
But there is also nothing in my tmp/ directory when the html-mail
opens successfully. The Tab says:
file:///home/alan/tmp/mutt.html
but there is nothing of that kind in my ~tmp/.
I suspect that my ~/.mailcap file is not correct. I was given it
several years ago, and I've never understood it. I give it here, in
its one-line entirety:
text/html; iceweasel -new-tab '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY";nametemplate=%s.html
I am running Debian squeeze; my browser is iceweasel; my mutt is 1.5.20.
I spare you my .muttrc, except to say that it has been pretty constant
for my many years of using mutt and Linux.
TIA for expected help!
