I always use Mutt & have the following lines: in ~/.mailcap : text/html; lynx -force_html %s in ~/.mime.types : text/html html htm When I encounter an HTML file in an e-mail, I enter 'v' in Mutt, which shows a list of sections & attachments, select the appropriate one, 'Enter' & Lynx does its job. You can handle other types in a similar fashion: eg I have in .mailcap application/msword; catdoc | most application/pdf; /usr/kde/3.4/bin/kghostview %s image/gif; /usr/kde/3.4/bin/kview %s image/jpg; /usr/kde/3.4/bin/kview %s image/jpeg; /usr/kde/3.4/bin/kview %s image/png; /usr/kde/3.4/bin/kview %s The '%s' is needed if the app is interactive & you have to remember to update the paths eg for KDE 4.0 (whenever).
