Very recently I started having a curious situation when I open the
html version of messages with mutt. My default browser is
'chrome'. Typically, in mutt I press 'v', I find the html message from
the list, I press return and the message is displayed in a new window
in my running 'chrome'. Nevertheless, I sometimes get the error
message 'No webpage found for the web address:
file:///tmp/mutt.html'. If I insist enough times, the message
eventually is successfully displayed in my browser. My guess is that
there is some kind of race condition which becomes apparent only when
my computer is busy, as if the browser tries to read the temporal file before
mutt finishes writing and closing it. My system is debian/stable and I
am using the mutt package from the distribution. Any idea/suggestion will be
appreciated.

A bit late to the party here, but I get the same with Chromium on Ubuntu. I
never have the same problem with Firefox though, and since I always get fed up
with Chromium quite quickly and go back to Firefox it doesn't worry me. It will
be interesting to have a play with the suggestions though. I've sort of assumed
it is down to the way Chrome handles it tabs and sub-processes compared to
Firefox - either passing off to another sub-process causing Mutt to delete the
file, or the first process trying to access the file too quickly. I've always
found the interface annoying on Chrome and, unlike many people I know, found it
slow and a bit of a memory hog compared to Firefox! I'm running more modern
hardware now, so perhaps time to see if that has switched the tables!
