I use viewhtmlmsg from the muttutils package, https://bitbucket.org/blacktrash/muttils. It opens the message, including images, in a browser. To make it more convenient to use, I have these macros in my ~/.vimrc which use the shell script shown below. # View the message using viewhtmlmsg. # macro index,pager ,v "\ <enter-command> set my_pipe_decode=\$pipe_decode my_wait_key=\$wait_key \ pipe_decode=no wait_key=no<enter>\ <pipe-message> mutt_viewhtmlmsg -s<enter>\ <enter-command> set pipe_decode=\$my_pipe_decode wait_key=\$my_wait_key \ &my_pipe_decode &my_wait_key<enter>\ " "view HTML (safe) in browser" macro index,pager ,V "\ <enter-command> set my_pipe_decode=\$pipe_decode my_wait_key=\$wait_key \ pipe_decode=no wait_key=no<enter>\ <pipe-message> mutt_viewhtmlmsg<enter>\ <enter-command> set pipe_decode=\$my_pipe_decode wait_key=\$my_wait_key \ &my_pipe_decode &my_wait_key<enter>\ " "view HTML (unsafe) in browser" ------------------------- mutt_viewhtmlmsg ------------------------- #!/bin/bash tmpfile=$(tempfile) || exit 1 cat > "$tmpfile" export BROWSER=midori { viewhtmlmsg "$@" < "$tmpfile" >/dev/null 2>&1 rm -f "$tmpfile" } & -------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Gary
