I use Firefox instead of Thunderbird. In my .mailcap file I have this entry: text/html; links -force-html -dump %s; copiousoutput; print = firefoxurl %s; That uses "links" to render html by default. If that's not good enough, I hit "p" in mutt to "print" the html, and that lauches firefox using this script: ---------------------------------firefoxurl--------------------------------- #!/bin/bash set -x MRC="mozilla-xremote-client -a firefox" URL="$1" if $MRC 'ping()' 2>/dev/null ; then $MRC "openURL($URL,new-tab)" else firefox "$URL" fi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know that's not quite what you're asking for, but maybe it's a start. If that's not good enough, then I just launch Thunderbird manually (which is set up to use the same IMAP server that mutt is using).
