The pipe is used to hand the current mail/news over via stdin to a program specified. So, the program must be abled to read from stdin. w3m is (IIRC not documented in the manpage), but links isn't. That means that links ignores the input from stdin and just wants to run with the URL given (none in your case). If you really depend on links, I think a short wrapper should help: #!/bin/sh tee $filename links $filename rm -f $filename (or: maybe this can be done directly in the macro) Btw, if you want to extract URLs from a message body why not use UrlView adjusted to use your favorite browser?

HTML mail - mailcap problem
I was following the recent thread about HTML mail, and hosed my mailcap/muttrc settings - I think. Before dinking around with the settings, I hit 'v' to view the attachments, and when I hit 'Enter' on a text/html entry, Links would come up nice -- but source code only. I reads the 'Links' manual to find out that Mutt's auto_view setting doesn't work with my version (083 or something) of Links. So I got rid of auto_view. However, when I select a message from the index that's HTML I get the following: mailcap entry for type text/html not found What the hell? My muttrc has the mailcap_path set correctly! I have a mailcap file in every freaking directory imaginable, and the mailcap entries are: text/html; links %s; needsterminal; nametemplate=%s.html Any ideas? TIA... -- -duke Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Re: HTML Mail - no temp file
On Tue, 06 Jul 1999, Hal Burgiss wrote: Trying to view html mail and I get a NS message to the effect of: No Such File: /tmp/mutt Correct there is no such file -- anywhere. I have tmpdir set to /tmp in .muttrc. I don't see that mutt is creating any temp files in this situation? I've changed mailcap to '-remote openFile(%s)', since openURL() seemed to always want a http:// URL. This works fine as long as it points to a valid file. The problem with "netscape -remote openFile" is, that this command terminates before the file is read in completely. IMHO this is a bug in netscape. Mutt works correctly here: Mutt creates the temp file, then it starts the command (netscape), then it waits for the started command to terminate and after this Mutt removes the temp file. When netscape terminates before reading the file completely in, this means, that Mutt has removed the file before is read and you got the above message. Work around for this problem: Add a sleep 10 after the netscape call in your mailcap like this: text/html; (netscape -remote 'openFile(%s)' || netscape %s)\; sleep 10; \ test=test -n "$DISPLAY" This is ugly, but normally these 10 seconds should be enough for netscape to read the file. Alternatively you can tell Mutt to always wait for a key press before removing the file by adding an exit 1 like this: text/html; (netscape -remote 'openFile(%s)' || netscape %s)\; exit 1; \ test=test -n "$DISPLAY" This tells Mutt to ask for a key press (because netscape seems to be terminated with an error) before removing the file. Another alternative is to "set wait_key" in your muttrc. This should activate waiting for a key press after every external command. But in most situations this is annoying, so I prefer to "unset wait_key" and to add an "exit 1", when I want Mutt to wait for a key press in some special case.

Why the two calls to netscape sparated by ||? This first tries to start netscape -remote, which exits with a value !=0 if no netscape is actually running. In this case the "or" (||) part is executed and a new netscape is started. Why the \ after the ) to protect the ;? Because an unquoted ";" is the mailcap separator. But what I want to do here is to execute two commands (netscape and sleep) one after the other, so the "\;" is a ";" for the shell executing the mailcap command. Are the alternatives whether netscape is already running or not? Yep.

HTML Mail - no temp file
Trying to view html mail and I get a NS message to the effect of: No Such File: /tmp/mutt Correct there is no such file -- anywhere. I have tmpdir set to /tmp in .muttrc. I don't see that mutt is creating any temp files in this situation? I've changed mailcap to '-remote openFile(%s)', since openURL() seemed to always want a http:// URL.

I have experienced a similar situation and was waiting to find time for more extensive tests before asking mutt-users. On some tries I get the "No such file" error.

I think this is correct too, since you are trying to load a file not a URL. I do not think this problem is mutt version or system dependent. Cheers, Brian.
