 auto_view text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg
 alternative_order text/plain# I like plaintext more than html.
 
 Be sure to have your mime.types and mailcap set correctly...

That's not what I asked for ;) I can view HTML formated email, but I would like
do view some of the email apart from ordinary plaintext style (withing mutt's
pager) also in outside application...
For instance I would use auto_view to display html as plain text, but if I
would pres for instance key H the same e-mail would be displayed in an web
browser.


THX in advance!

From the mutt manual, put this in your mailcap ahead of the line already
there for lynx or whatever you use to convert HTML to text:

text/html; netscape -remote 'openURL(%s)' ; test=RunningX

You could also try this, pieced together from my mailcap file and a
script I have, but untested in this form:

text/html; netscape -remote 'openURL(file:%s, new-window)' || netscape %s; 
test=RunningX

To display an HTML attachment using Netscape, open the attachment from
mutt's attachment menu.

HTH,
Gary
