| echo "DISPLAY=$DISPLAY"
| for arg in "$@"; do
| echo "with arg :$arg:"
| done
| } >>/tmp/wrapscript.out; done
/tmp/wrapscript.out; ( not the 'done' )
| /home/mes-mate/firefox/firefox "$@"
|
| Then modify the mailcap to call the wrapper script.
|
| text/html; /home/mes-mate/mywrap %s; description=HTML Text; test=test -n
"$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.html
|
| That should make mutt call 'mywrap' which should log to the file that
| it was called and with with arguments. Then it should call your
| firefox script and launch firefox on it just as if you had called it
| from the command line.
|
| If that does not log anything then it is not being called and you have
| not found the right mailcap file. If it is being called then there
| should be enough debugging hooks there to deduce why the browser is
| not coming up. You may find reason to add more debugging to the
| script as you get more clues. But doing this should lead to a reason
| for the problem.

No way to get firefox launched ... i've disabled all mailcap's i've
found (except the one from mutt of course), disabled mozilla in the
mutt/mailcap file, etc.. but mozilla is still there !
The only way i've found to not get mozilla launched is setting in
'alternatives' firefox as the alternative; this case mozilla isn't
launched but NOR firefox.( not one at all)
I'm searching....
