I do it this way (under Ubuntu):
In .mailcap I have
text/html; store_html %s; needsterminal; copiousoutput;
and the script store_html contains:
:
SAVE=/tmp/elinks_save.html
cp $1 $SAVE
elinks -dump -dump-charset UTF-8 -default-mime-type text/html $SAVE
opera file://$SAVE
exit 0
Now, when I select a message in html-format, I see it immediately in the
browser.
Best,
ulrich
