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
Re: Console HTML view with picture using W3M or other
A picture of ice cream looks delicious and cold. A picture of pizza looks delicious and "don't burn yourself, can't you see the steam coming from that slice, you're going to burn your mouth?" HOT! I've never tried "av". Thanks, Jude. Regards, David On Sat, Jul 31, 2021, 11:17 PM Jude DaShiell wrote: > If memory serves, w3m can use av package if installed to allow it to view > pictures.

Re: Console HTML view with picture using W3M or other
If memory serves, w3m can use av package if installed to allow it to view pictures. I've only read about this never having been able to look at pictures. On Sat, 31 Jul 2021, D.J.J.
