i deal with those with a couple of wrappers. my normal mhn.defaults file excludes a rule for text/html, to force mh to dislay plain text if it's available. if i need to see the html, i use either "phtml" or "phtml_dump", to run a text browser on the message -- which of those i use depends on whether i want a live text browser or just a text dump of the contents (since sometimes i want to see the footnote-style link display of the "dump" format). phtml: echo "mhshow-show-text/html: %p/usr/bin/links -force-html '%F'" > /tmp/mhn.conf MHSHOW=/tmp/mhn.conf mhshow $* phtml_dump: echo "mhshow-show-text/html: %p/usr/bin/lynx -verbose -force_html '%F' -dump | less" > /tmp/mhn.conf MHSHOW=$Mail/mhn_dump.conf mhshow $* (i'm not sure why one of those uses links and the other lynx. oh well.) paul =--------------------- paul fox, [email protected] (arlington, ma, where it's 55.9 degrees) _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
