I just noticed that there are html files that mutt opens instead of downloading them and some not. For example here I have a python documentation website section which I downloaded with wget for local viewing. If I open a file with .html extension in this repo vimb downloads it (not yet tried all). If I download en.wikipedia.org page then vimb opens it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ vimb-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vimb-users
