Mailcap selectively applying settings
Hi list, I'm having a bit of a weird one, at least for me. I can't get mutt to read my entire mailcap file properly, it seems. For example, I have the following line in my mailcap: images/*; eog %s It handles this just fine; all image attachments are opened with eog. However, another line: text/html lynx -dump %s | more is seemingly ignored, even when there are no other options given for handling HTML. No matter which browser I set, no matter what combination of options I use, I cannot seem to get mutt to use this entry in any way. By all clues in the documentation, my personal mailcap file (~/.mailcap) should take priority, but it only seems to want to set for certain types. What the heck is going on? Where can I learn how to fix it? -- Christopher Conforti signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I may be wrong, but shouldn't there be a semicolon in that entry? I.e. text/html; lynx -dump %s | more If that doesn't help, please unpack what you mean by "seemingly ignored". E.g. give steps to reproduce the problem. That might help someone on this list get a better handle on troubleshooting with you.

Where can I learn how to fix it? I think the 'copiousoutput' is explained somewhere on the Mutt web site. -- Chris Green
