For showing messages with HTML parts, you can use text-based browsers like w3m, links, lynx, etc. Here is what I have in my .mh_profile: mhshow-show-text/html: w3m -T text/html mhshow-show-text/x-html: w3m -T text/html For handling replies to such beasts, I wrote a Perl script to handle it, leveraging mhonarc. The script is called mha-edit. Info and download is here: http://www.mhonarc.org/MHonArc/extras/mha-mhedit/ If you download mhonarc itself (which you will need), mha-mhedit is provided in the extras/ directory. Here is my .mh_profile settings for mha-mhedit: mha-mhedit: -editor vim -htmlconv w3m mha-mhedit-lynx: -stdin -dump -force_html -nolist -width=76 mha-mhedit-w3m: -dump -cols 76 -T text/html mha-mhedit-next: vim The mha-mhedit-next is very important so you do not lose anything if you enter "edit" at the "What now?" prompt. I like to use w3m for converting HTML to text since it supports tables. links supports tables also, but the venerable lynx browser does not. The documentation for mha-mhedit should be fairly complete. --ewh -- Earl Hood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Web: <http://www.earlhood.com/> PGP Public Key: <http://www.earlhood.com/gpgpubkey.txt> _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
