inline html viewing coding system

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi,

 is there a way to configure mutt to consider the charset for
displaying inline html?

I use /usr/bin/w3m -dump -T text/html  and by default this correctly
displays utf-8 encoded html. Unfortunately, a lot of mailers still use
iso-8859-1 and special characters aren't displayed correctly.

The charset gets transmitted in the mail, but I don't know how to
propagate that on the fly to w3m.

Any ideas?

 displaying inline html?

Not that I know of; I use a simple wrapper script for that (I use lynx,
adjust options accordingly), using isutf8 (part of moreutils):

isutf8 ${1}  /dev/null \
 lynx -assume_charset=utf-8 -display_charset=utf-8 -dump -force_html 
${1} \
|| lynx -display_charset=utf-8 -dump -force_html ${1}

Hi Patrice,

 thanks a lot, I adapted your script for w3m and that works in my
western-euro-centric use-cases (assuming iso-8859-1 if it isn't
utf-8). It would be much cleaner (and international) to determine the
code-page from the attachment header, but I have no idea whether this
even can be done without changing the sources of mutt.

Anyway, your script at least solves the problem for me.

PS (for anybody interested): This entry in /etc/mailcap does the job:

text/html; w3m -T text/html -M -I %{charset} -o frame=0 -o meta_refresh=0 \
 -dump -cols 72 '%s'; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html
