I know a solution that works well: 1) Make HTML attachments to be open with `elinks' browser; this is good enough to open links in console mode; but then follow to open up links with external browser; In ~/.mailcap I have following: text/html; elinks -force-html '%s'; 2) Go into setup in `elinks' with `o' to options, "Document" then "URI Passing" and then press `a' to add new option, you may name it like "External" press `e' on that option and enter your favorite browser, I have something like "iceweasel %c" -- which means if I wish to open the link with external browser, I would use option under menu "Link" -> "Pass link URI to external command"; 3) To make it respond quickly on the key, go to "Setup" -> "Keybinding manager" -> "Main mapping" -> "Pass link URI to external command" and press ENTER, choose your keybinding, I have ";" for example; 4) When you wish to view HTML attachment, then you press enter in attachment menu and `elinks' browser will open. You can read the HTML document and browse with `elinks' the Internet. If you wish to open the link in external browser, you press the key binding, in this example it was ";" -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
