I hear you, dude (I also have a wife that is a nmh user as well; go figure.

Well, I just tried this (I am on MacOS X): % cp `mhpath cur` /tmp/foo.eml % /Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird -file /tmp/foo.eml And ... it seemed to do what you want! (I chose a message with embedded images and they were displayed correctly). I did the copy with the filename extension because MacOS X really really wants to use filename extensions as the identifier for a file type, and just doing "-file `mhpath cur`" didn't work; I took a guess on the ".eml" extension and it seemed to be correct. So I think this is a reasonable option. BTW, I do use w3m as a text-based HTML viewer and I set the option "display_link_number" so I can find the link in a message and then copy and paste it to a web browser, so that works for a message where I just need to find one link. --Ken
