Okay, so probably something is wrong with my setup since I do not get
HTML mail rendered into text in the pager from the index. The only way
I can get Mutt to convert to text is to press 'v' first, and then select
one of the "attachments" to view.
In .muttrc I have "auto_view text/html application/x-gunzip application/
msword", and in .mailcap I have "text/html; lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput;
nametemplate=%s.html". I've also tried other forms of the .mailcap entry
which don't have "nametemplate".
I now have two mails available for testing. Viewed directly in nvi, one
has only HTML with no mime information in the body, and the Content-Type:
header reads "text/html; charset="euc-jp"". The other has two parts, one
text and the other HTML, in that order. They are not labeled as to type
in the body; they are only separated by a "--NextPart_Webmail_9m3u..."
line. The Content-Type: header is "multipart/alternative; boundary="
NextPart_Webmail_9m3u...".
Both mails show up in unrendered HTML in the pager from the index.
After pressing 'v', the first mail has an index:
I 1 <no description> [text/html, 7bit, euc-jp, 2.8K]
, and if I press Enter on that, I get plain text.
The second mail has an index in the attachment menu like:
I 1 <no description> [multipa/alternativ, 7bit, 2.6K]
I 2 |-><no description> [text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 1.0K]
I 3 `-><no description> [text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 1.4K]
Both 1 and 3 show up as raw HTML. Only 2 shows up as text, but it is
plain text to begin with.
Sorry for the long post, but I really would appreciate Mutt just showing
me plain text when I hit [Enter] on the mail listed in the main index.
Are the above two mails hopelessly broken, or is there some way to get
Mutt to do what I want? TIA
