Scenario B:
If DHL really are sending HTML in a standalone text/plain body then
you've got 2 choices.
The first is to act when you receive the email; if you're using procmail or
something similar to file you email you could match these messages and
modify the Content-Type: header to say "text/html".
The alternative is to match the message with mutt, and to set display_filter
specially for this message. You could use your normal display_filter and use
a message-hook to override it with the command from the mailcap ("lynx
-dump").
OK, thanks, it's quite rare and, at the moment, only DHL notifications
doing this that I actually want to see the content.
Just further to the display_filter thing: I normally use a
display_filter, set to a personal script which goes:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Mutt display filter, whose behaviour adjusts accoridng to some flags.

if flag MUTT_ROT13
then tr '[A-Z][a-z]' '[N-Z][A-M][n-z][a-m]'
else cat
fi \
| if flag MUTT_UNTOPPOST
then untoppost
else cat
fi \
| mutt-highlight
The mutt-highlight is a sed script which turns *foo* into bold and _foo_
into underlined. But the important thing here is the if statement: it
optionally runs the message body through some filters. For example, I've
got a mutt macro ^X to toggle the MUTT_ROT13 flag and redisplay the
message.
You could adopt such a scheme for your HTML issue (in fact, I'm going to
do that myself too): have an optional flag to decode the HTML using a
pipeline flavour of your mailcap unhtml line. Then bind a mutt keystroke
to toggle the flag and redisplay. My rot13 bindings go:
set my_toggle_rot13="$my_push_wait_key=no<enter><shell-escape>flag ! MUTT_ROT13 -e
flag MUTT_ROT13<enter>$my_pop_wait_key"
macro index \Cx "$my_toggle_rot13" 'toggle MUTT_ROT13'
macro pager \Cx "<exit>$my_toggle_rot13<display-message>" 'toggle MUTT_ROT13'
Just a thought. Source for any of the above is available.
