In your .muttrc file, you could insert: bind attach <Enter> view-mailcap bind attach <Return> view-mailcap macro attach "\ef" "<pipe-message>cat > $HOME/Mail/mutt_attachment_temporary_file.html ; /usr/bin/firefox $HOME/Mail/mutt_attachment_temporary_file.html<Enter>" Then, in Mutt, when you open an e-mail, type "v" to go to the attachments menu, and navigate to the "text/html" entry, hitting "Enter" will display the message using w3m, whereas hitting "<Alt>f" will open a copy of the message in Firefox. Another good option in the .mailcap file, in place of the w3m command quoted above, is: text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force-html -localhost -stdin In my opinion, requiring a two-keystroke combination such as "<Alt>f" to open the message in Firefox is a helpful security practice, as that makes it more difficult to accidentally click on a hyperlink in a malicious e-mail. For more options, you could add a similar macro "\em" to open in Midori. > Lots of people send me mail in HTML format (even though I do not > like it). Hopefully, when you quote their messages in your replies to them, it will include all the raw HTML markup so that they can enjoy it as much as you did. Best regards, Greg Marks
