Re: Any changes to auto_view in 1.5.21?

I just got 1.5.21 compiled on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 system and
noticed that the behavior of auto_view has changed (for me).  In my
.mailcap, I have two text/html entries.  The first is to launch my
browser (via Gary Johnson's old "browser launcher from mutt script"),
and the second entry is to run elinks.

In 1.5.20 while I was in the Attachments page, my browser was used.  But
in 1.5.21 elinks is used.  Furthermore, if I comment out the elinks line
in the .mailcap file, mutt launches /usr/bin/htmlview (which I don't
have specified anywhere).
Mutt will now display most text/* parts internally via the pager. I'm guessing your system /etc/mailcap has a text/html entry without the "needsterminal" keyword that Mutt is using to render the text.
You can still get the old behavior in the attachment menu by pressing 'm' (view-mailcap) which will always use mailcap for viewing, and should pick up any entries for external viewers ("needsterminal").
