Good tip. Making progress.
Ah, ok. What you're seeing is that mutt cleans up the temp file after the command completes. "open" tells chrome what to open, and exits. Mutt cleans up. Chrome responsds too late and sees nothing. What you need is a wrapper script to take a copy of the file and hand the copy to chrome. Like this one: http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/bin/withstdin You can imagine what led me to write that:-) Then your mailcap entry becomes: text/html; withstdin open -a Chrome <%s which hands a copy to Chrome.
