Can one suppress the '[-- Autoview using ....--] message?
Is there any way to suppress the Autoview message when messages come via a .mailcap entry? -- Chris Green

It's easy enough to use a message hook to catch the messages from the site but what do I need to do then to convert the messages and feed them into the pager? You could use the mailcap 'test=' field combined with an environment variable set/unset by the hook. message-hook ~A 'unsetenv MUTT_USE_ALT_VIEWER' message-hook ~C 'your-l...@example.com' 'setenv MUTT_USE_ALT_VIEWER yes' In .mailcap: text/html; altviewer %s; test=[ -n "$MUTT_USE_ALT_VIEWER" ]; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html text/html; lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html Another idea might be to swap $mailcap_path to use another mailcap file for that mailing list. -- Kevin J.

I.e. can I use a message_hook to set display_filter when the message is from the list in question and unset display_filter by default (i.e. for all other messages)? -- Chris Green

I am sure you can, instead of individual program, run a dmenu or other similar menu in console, maybe such as fzf, or console dialogs and then choose by which program to open the html files. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.

How to 'hook' different programs to view text/html?
I have the fairly standard setup for viewing HTML messages in mutt:- auto_view text/html unalternative_order * message-hook ~A "alternative_order text/html text/plain text" (The unalternative_order is because I have one special case where I switch the order of text/html text/plain) ... and in ~/.mailcap:- text/html; lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html However I now have a requirement where I want to run HTML messages from one particular mailing list (well, it's a forum actually, but I get the messages by E-Mail) through a program other than lynx. Is there a straightforward way to do this? It's easy enough to use a message hook to catch the messages from the site but what do I need to do then to convert the messages and feed them into the pager? -- Chris Green
