Hello, mutt.
I'm using mutt 1.5.23 on Gentoo GNU/Linux.
>From time to time I get html coded Email. This is not being rendered to
text, rather it is just dumped to my screen as is, with html tags and
all. This is not a good thing.
For example, a piece of spam I got recently includes the following
headers:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
, and its body starts off like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: verdana,
. I have no reason to think that the html is malformed.
I have played around a little with my ~/.mailcap file (which generally
works, e.g. for things like files.pdf), but nothing I do appears to have
the slightest impact on these html mails. Currently, I have this entry
for text/html:
text/html; lynx -force_html -dump %s ; copiousoutput ; nametemplate=%s.html
. I don't believe mutt is paying any attention to this .mailcap entry.
At one stage, I put firefox into the line in place of lynx, but this
made no difference: the raw, unrendered mail was dumped onto my
terminal.
I'm stumped. Would somebody please help me get this working.
Thanks!
