Something you may want not realize is that mozilla supports rendering message/rfc822 data directly in the browser. I.e. If the browser receives a media-type message/rfc822, it will render it directly. The only major problem is that it will not handle any external attachments when rendering the data in the browser window. For files read from disk, I use the extension ".822" to denote a message/rfc822 file. I then had to add the following in the mime.types file: message/rfc822 822 --ewh > > One other reason I like to use the command-line interface first: a lot > of the messages I get are just spam, and that gets obvious as soon as > nmh shows me the first part.
