http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual.html#toc5.3 5.3 MIME Viewer configuration with mailcap nametemplate=<template> This field specifies the format for the file denoted by %s in the command fields. Certain programs will require a certain file extension, for instance, to correctly view a file. For instance, lynx will only interpret a file as text/html if the file ends in .html. So, you would specify lynx as a text/html viewer with a line in the mailcap file like: text/html; lynx %s; nametemplate=%s.html -- -D. d...@uchicago.edu IT Services University of Chicago
