I'm talking to Alexander off-list about this; suspect that the file-not- found stuff is browser opening pages in background, but doing so too slowly and so missing Nmh's tempfiles. I am 100% sure that is the problem ... but it just illustrates my point. What is appropriate for a mailcap entry

I can understand that, but from what we've seen it looks like run-mailcap simply is non-functional with base nmh (Conrad said it didn't work; a lot of cases of file not found). hmm, as far as i'm aware debian's mime-support (and its run-mailcap component) is very well primed from the get-go, but

debian's exmh uses run-mailcap, which is the only thing we can depend on to be available. after all not everybody has (or wants) lynx installed, or libreoffice or insert mime handler of your personal choice which everybody else hates. i'd say the clean debianish solution for delegating mime

Hi Alexander, Thanks for taking an interest.. Alexander the only difference between upstream's mhn.defaults and the Alexander one shipped with debian's nmh are the 4+6 lines for mime Alexander types application/postscript, /msword, /pdf, image/* Alexander (upstream and too specific) vs the

I'm having some trouble with the default setup of nmh 1.6-2 on Debian, upgrading from 1.5-release-0.2 (i.e. switching from wheezy to jessie). Where previously show'ing an email with HTML and text would bring up something in a pager in my terminal window, I'm now getting a range of behaviours, from

Ken BEFORE 1.6 it certainly wouldn't do that out of the box. Er I think the key word there was that it'd bring up something in a pager. Not necessarily something useful, but it was less aggravating than throwing up a new window for every message part in the 100 emails I was skimming :-/ I had
