Hi ALL,
When $content_type=text/html, and mailcap contains:
| text/html; lynx %s ; nametemplate=%s.html ; edit=some_filter
If I try to compose an HTML message, some_filter is not called and
Mutt shouts a "Mailcap Edit entry requires %s" error. That's normal, as
filter editing is not yet implemented (comments in code say /* For now,
editing requires a file, no piping */). Fine.
But the user doesn't see the said appropriate error, instantly
overwritten by an "Aborted unmodified message." error. This hides the
real problem to the user.
Bye! Alain.
