I use links to display the the page
You can try the following in your mailcap definitions
The following do not have breaks in the line, please type them out as a
single line. My editor defaults to 72 characters per line.
text/html; links -driver x -force-html %s; description=HTML
nametemplate-%s.html
or off the top of my head...try one at a time.
text/html; opera -remote openURL(%s)
text/html; opera %s
text/html; firefox -a firefox -remote 'openURL(file://%s, new-tab)' ;
copiousoutput
text/html; firefox -remote %s || firefox %s
text/html; opera -remote 'openURL(%s,new-window)' || opera %s&
text/html; opera -remote 'openURL (%s)' || opera %s
I have used, in the past, firefox and opera without any problems.
I hope this helps.
