There are two ways to view attachments in Mutt. In some 1.5 version, the default was to display text attachments as text. I believe this corresponds to the behavior of the default [enter] key binding. The usual solution is to use the setting: auto_view text/html The default binding of <Return> in the attachment screen is to the function 'view-attachment', but I believe there's a second function that either forces or does not force text attachments to be viewed as text. I can't recall the specifics, but I would suggest searching the Mutt manual for HTML, and it'll probably turn up. > docx: > "No matching mailcap entry found. Viewing as text." You may need additional bits in your mailcap entry. The default on my system for msword is this: $ grep msword /etc/mailcap application/msword; soffice --nologo --writer '%s'; edit=soffice --nologo --writer '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; description="Microsoft Word Document"; nametemplate=%s.doc I'd check whether Mutt has $DISPLAY set in its environment. One way to do this is to have your muttrc set a local mutt variable, and then ask Mutt what it is. Something like: set my_display=`echo $DISPLAY` Then in Mutt, use the colon command: :set ?my_display To see what it is set to. -- Derek D.
