I think that I am experiencing something similar, but in my case rendering errors generate what appears to be an unexpected linebreak or similar.

Yes, I just tested without screen and it's fine in urxvt and xfce4-term. Going to move this to the screen bugzilla. Actually though, in vim + screen it is fine. It just seems to be a combination of screen + mutt for some reason. Stumped. OK. It looks like there's a difference between what mutt is defining for wide chars than screen. Here is the screen commit that broke it for mutt: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/commit/?h=screen-v4&id=c10e99789904ac687701fb9bd7d2bf8b8995b166 It just updates the wide glyph table.

I have my mailcap entry set up so that "viewing" an html message uses
w3m but "printing" an html message passes it to chromium:
$ fgrep text/html ~/.mailcap
text/html; w3m -T text/html -dump; copiousoutput; print = chromiumurl %s;
$ cat ~/bin/chromiumurl
#!/bin/bash
URL="$1"
test -f "$URL" && URL="file://$URL"

Re: choices on reading HTML emails
I wonder, can mutt be used to strip all images and toss them in the
trash and strip all image attachments and toss them in the trash then
make remaining text viewable in mutt? Some of us with this kind of
capability could save lots of disk space.

Mutt will automatically show html messages using lynx, but if I want
to see them in firefox, I use 'v' to see the attachment list, arrow
down to the attachment and hit return. mimehelper is a script that
runs a program then sleeps for 5 seconds, otherwise mutt often
removes the temp file before the browser has had a chance to read it.
I wish I could make mutt less aggressive about removing its temp files.

text part (which I prefer in alternative_order) is broken; I don't
necessarily want to open the HTML message in a browser, I just want
to reverse alternative_order so I can see the HTML part it lynx.
I have a binding for that which I got from
http://www.archivum.info/comp.mail.mutt/2008-08/2/Re-combined-html-ascii-message-mutt-shows-html-but-not-ascii.html
That still leaves the edge case of HTML mail with attached images.
I don't get those very often, but when I do, mutt can't show the
images. So I wrote a Python script that pulls out the cid:
attachments and saves them, then rewrites the HTML to point to them.
http://shallowsky.com/blog/tech/email/mutt-viewing-html-mail.html
Finally, I have a script that brings up a browser window showing all
the attachments, both HTML and Word docs (converted to HTML), in
different tabs. (I unfortunately have to correspond with a group of
people who insist on communicating by mailing bunches of Word
attachments). So I put that on F5:
macro index "~/bin/viewmailattachments\n" "View all attachments
in browser"
macro pager "~/bin/viewmailattachments\n" "View all attachments

The script is at
https://github.com/akkana/scripts/blob/master/viewmailattachments
That one doesn't handle embedded images; some day I need to combine
viewmailattachments and viewhtmlmail into one script.

Re: choices on reading HTML emails
Interesting, anything different in the headings of webmail not handled
well by w3m as opposed to messages w3m handles well? If so, maybe
isolating that difference and writing an additional line for the
.mailcap file will help.

Hi,
Can anyone share some approaches for reading HTML emails.
Currenlty I use w3m:
text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html; copiousoutput;
But sometimes I receive some HTML mails which can not be handled that well by
w3m, so I want to open that html attachment in a browser. How can I switch

Notice that you don't have to use full paths in .mailcap. As mutt
passes mailcap commands to sh you can use one of these 2 to make your
.mailcap more portable:
text/html; $HOME/bin/see_html %s
text/html; ~/bin/see_html %s
And if see_html is in your $PATH:
text/html; see_html %s
Personally, I use
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tampakrap/bin/master/viewhtmlmail.py.
The good thing about it is that it can also display images embedded in
html messages. I have this in my .muttrc:
macro pager"~/bin/viewhtmlmail.py\n" "ViewHTML in
browser"

What I did was make a shell script to save the mail and open it in
elinks when autoview didn't autoopen it for some reason. You can
easily change elinks to another browser:
#!/bin/sh
TMPFILE="/tmp/mutt-elinks.html"
cat /dev/stdin > "$TMPFILE"
sed -ri "s%^(Date:|From:|To:|Cc:|Subject:|X-Mailer:)(.*)%\1\2\%g"
"$TMPFILE"
elinks -force-html "$TMPFILE"
rm -f "$TMPFILE"
And the macro:
macro pager,index,attach Z "|~/.mutt/elinks"
The sed line is just to add line breaks to the headers.
