Easy to fix!
1)What can I do to correct this and launch a browser?
You need to set up how MIME message types are handled, and change that netscape
line to work with (a) your shell (b) your browser.
2)Where is documentation on this?
Read `man 5 muttrc`, specifically the section on auto_view. It will further
direct you to `man 5 mailcap`, which is the system config file for MIME type
handling.
Happy mutting.

Re: listing a resum of many mailboxes when starting mutt ?
Hello everybody, I would like to view a resume of different incoming mailboxes just before selecting one. Some thing I would have with [..]$ du $HOME/Mail/ In my $HOME/.muttrc I put these -- set folder=~/Mail ... mailboxes =mutt =postfix -- The command mailboxes is indicated in section 3.11 Defining mailboxes .. mutt-manual.txt.gz . But it doesn't work . Sure it doesn't? Try to press 'c', then '?' to list content of ~/Mail/, and then press tab. It should work then. If you want to see this upon mutt's startup, run mutt with -y (i personally have M macro in mutt for c?tab and alias m='mutt -y' in bash). -- Petr Pasky Baudis UN*X programmer, UN*X administrator, hobbies = IPv6, IRC Real Users hate Real Programmers.

Howdy, To get mutt to grab the mail off the mailserver you need to use 2 options, pop_host and pop_user. There's a few other's that you might want too. They're all listed in man muttrc you would probably do something like: set pop_host=pop.mail.yahoo.com set pop_user=username in you muttrc. I'd recommend fetchmail for that though. It's fairly easy to get mutt to send emails so they look like they're from yahoo.
