You can. Just put them in you mailcap in this order: text/html; links %s; nametemplate=%s.html text/html; links -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput The copiousoutput tag tells mutt to use that entry for in-line expansion of text/html content while using the other entry to view text/html content from the attachment menu. This is covered in the mutt manual in the section on Search Order (5.3.3.2) under Advanced mailcap Usage (5.3.3).

I think I got hung up on this line in the manual: When searching for an entry in the mailcap file, Mutt will search for the most useful entry for its purpose.

When I reply to these messages, how do I configure Mutt to convert the HTML attachment into plain text, quote it, and finally edit it? Or is this a mailcap issue? Thanks in advance. I beleive these are the relevant settings I use: In .muttrc: alternative_order text/plain text # Favor plain text in multipart messages auto_view text/html # View html dumped to text in pager (see .mailcap) In .mailcap (choose one according to browser): # text/html; lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html # text/html; links -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html text/html; w3m -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html -- John

Thanks in advance. did you search on google? a google search for 'mutt-users html mail mailcap' turns up a lot of responses for me, including many in the mutt-users archives. i use: in ~/.mailcap: text/html; w3m -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput and in my .muttrc: # view annoying html mail inline auto_view text/html # if plain text and html prefer plain text alternative_order text/plain text/enriched text/html HTH. -- Will Yardley input: william hq . newdream . net .

It's at least partly a mailcap issue. If you already have mutt and mailcap configured to display HTML attachments as plain text in the pager, replying should just work as you described. Otherwise, you will need an entry like this in your mailcap: text/html; w3m -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput and you _may_ need this in your muttrc: auto_view text/html The auto_view command is required for the pager to work; I don't know if it's required to convert HTML to plain text in replies.
