It does the whole message. I seem to get messages where the entire
message is html with no separate html part. Mostly from ebay.co.uk,
even though I set to receive mail in plain text only.


To strip headers there, is pipe_decode useful? The manual says: "When
set, Mutt will weed headers and will attempt to decode the messages
first." Whether an "ignore *" is also needed to make it weed out all
headers, I haven't tested.

That works quite well and has the benefit of running elinks
interactively, which means I can open links in an external app.

I made a macro:

":unauto_view text/html:set pipe_decodeelinks 
-force-html:auto_view text/html"

The only problem is that for some reason if I run it on an attachment
it marks the attachment for deletion. I can't figure out why it's
doing it. I first used D for the macro, then changed it to Z in case
somehow D was being confused with d, but the problems remains. I only
ever use lowercase d for delete (s+Trash\n). Nothing shows in the help
menu that looks like it would do it.

When you try a pipe, is that piping the message (as a pipe command would
do in the index view) or just the html MIME part (as a pipe command in
the attachment view would do)?


It does the whole message. I seem to get messages where the entire
message is html with no separate html part. Mostly from ebay.co.uk,
even though I set to receive mail in plain text only.


I'm still curious about how autoview works with elinks and that
nametemplate though.


The binding I have for viewing HTML is a macro which opens the
attachment view, searches for the html part and then calls the
view-mailcap command.

Ha. I chatted to ebay tech support today because they
keep sending me these HTML emails even though I have set to receive
plain text. Well they must have changed something because I just had
the first mail since then and there was no body apart from:

[-- This text/html attachment (size 135K bytes) has been deleted --]
[-- on Wed, 14 Mar 2018 23:41:06 + --]

No text attachment or anything else. Fun. Well at least it didn't have
any of those icons that mess up my terminal.

proposition:

I've just found reason to not autoview HTML and to do it manually with
a bind.

Previously, I used elinks and it works fine with autoview, however
when I try to pipe to it it also renders the headers instead of just
the body.

This is my mailcap:

text/html;elinks %s;nametemplate=%s.html;copiousoutput

Is there a way of replicating that in a bind? What is this template?


I've just noticed that there's an unauto_view command. Making a bind
to auto_view and unauto_view works fine.

I'm still curious about how autoview works with elinks and that
nametemplate though.
