Quoth Steffen Nurpmeso: '"mimeview" is a hack in that it sequentially will walk over all parts and ask whether your MIME handler should run or not. Which MIME handler of yours is run?' For HTML at least, I needed to change:
set pipe-text/html="lynx -dump -force_html /dev/stdin" to: set pipe-text/html="lynx -dump -force_html /dev/stdin | less" In other words, it doesn't call a pager. The man page says it calls more by default; it ignored $PAGER, which is how one sets the non-default. This wasn't necessary with older versions. russell bell
