Re: Console HTML view with picture using W3M or other
Tavis, I only find /etc/skel/.Xresources for a .Xresources file, where do I put this file if I want to enable sixel support for sixels as you suggested? > I think you just need > something like this in .Xresources to enable it in xterm: > > XTerm*decTerminalID: vt382 > Best wishes, David On Sun, Aug 1, 2021 at 6:58 PM Tavis Ormandy wrote: > On 2021-08-01, Patrick Shanahan wrote: > > Not exactly what was asked, but I use this mailcap to view image > attachments: > > image/png; img2sixel -- %s | less -r; nametemplate=%s.png; needsterminal > > It uses the sixel support in xterm (or any other terminal that supports > sixels) to display images in the terminal.

Re: Console HTML view with picture using W3M or other
Hello Tavis, I love that name! It reminds me of beautiful music, or is it the Ormandy last name. I cannot find an "av" package what Jude suggested. You, Tavis, mentioned adding to mailcap this line: image/png; img2sixel -- %s | less -r; nametemplate=%s.png; needsterminal I'm guessing - and I realize that's gotten me into the deep fryer more than once... that you can make more lines in mailcap based on that line for different picture formats -- stop me if you hear hot oil bubbling and David screaming... image/jpg; img2sixel -- %s | less -r; nametemplate=%s.png; needsterminal image/jpeg; img2sixel -- %s | less -r; nametemplate=%s.png; needsterminal image/gif; img2sixel -- %s | less -r; nametemplate=%s.png; needsterminal I find a package called "libsixel" in Slackware and I'm installing that. Thanks and say "Hello to Eugene Ormandy" he was a great favorite of a friend of mine who was born in Budapest.

Re: Console HTML view with picture using W3M or other
I do roughly the same, though I use a wrapper script that lets me choose an
inline (sixel) or external viewer. Sometimes I want to view the image while
walking mutt on to another task, and in that case the wrapper script
handles the lifecycle of the temporary file thus needed.
mailcap:
# -i or -e, or neither for a choice
image/*; mutt-view-image -i %s
mutt-view-image:
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
-i) mode=inline; shift;;
-e) mode=external; shift;;
*) : ;;
esac
if [ "$mode" = "" ]; then
normal=$(stty -g)
printf "Do you want to view (i)nline or (e)xternal? "
trap "stty $normal" 1 2 3 15
stty raw -echo
c=$(dd if=/dev/stdin bs=1 count=1 2>/dev/null)
stty $normal
echo
pause=false
case "$c" in
i*) mode=inline;;
e*) mode=external;;
esac
fi
if [ "$mode" = "inline" ]; then
view="img2sixel %s 2>/dev/null"
pause=true
elif [ "$mode" = "external" ]; then
view="xopen %s; sleep 10"
fi
xopen () {
# External open
d=$(dirname "$1")
f=$(basename "$1")
fn="$d/async_$f"
ln "$1" "$fn"
at now + 5 minutes &1
EOF
# This opens on Linux or MacOS
(xdg-open "$fn" || open "$fn") 2>/dev/null
}
cmd=$(printf "$view" "$1")
eval $cmd
if $pause; then
restore=$(stty -g)
trap "stty $restore" 1 2 3 15
echo
echo "Press any key to continue..."
stty raw -echo
dd if=/dev/stdin bs=1 count=1 of=/dev/null
stty $restore
fi

Below are my settings. I put viewing the text file first, and access the html manually when for some reason it doesn't display the text. Access of the html part through `v` and then choose the html version. I use lynx to view email. My settings are for use in both CLI (TTY, bare bone) and GUI (xterm in a console window). You could need an extra line in your mailcap to view emails made on an iPhone, but I don't have that setting here at hand. In your muttrc # viewers defined in ~/.mutt/mailcap set mailcap_path = ~/.mutt/mailcap auto_view text/html alternative_order text/plain text/html In your mailcap # HTML text/html; lynx --force_html --dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html text/*; view Kind regards, //meine
