I think, I have a little more clever way to handle html mail... I agree, html mail is bad.

What I use is v0.92 in Mandrake. You can compile it for yourself or can try alien. The simlplest way is to try lynx, it has a -dump option in Debian version (potato stable), although it does not support tables and frames (the new links handles them as well). Try lynx, and if you find that you like the html viewer under mutt, you will go for links later... I find that indispensible. S many people sends stupid html junk, even if it is not necessary...

Yes I know I could save email and fire up Netscape but is there some automagic way to streamline the process??? See the manual section 5.4 5.4. MIME Autoview In addition to explicitly telling Mutt to view an attachment with the MIME viewer defined in the mailcap file, Mutt has support for automatically viewing MIME attachments while in the pager. To work, you must define a viewer in the mailcap file which uses the copiousoutput option to denote that it is non-interactive. Usually, you also use the entry to convert the attachment to a text representation which you can view in the pager. You then use the auto_view muttrc command to list the content-types that you wish to view automatically. For instance, if you set auto_view to: auto_view text/html text/enriched application/x-gunzip Mutt could use the following mailcap entry to automatically view html mails text/html; lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html HTH Lawrence HTH Lawrence -- Lawrence Mitchell | http://members.tripod.co.uk/EVSvienna/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | bug, n: A son of a glitch.
