Re: mailcap/autoview setup problem
I have figured out what caused my problem.
Let me just describe it for the record.

This was wrong: images can not be autoviewed. So this now reads:
auto_view text/html

This was caused by IrfanView (i_view32.exe) failing to understand unix
slashes. So I now call a little perl script that turns unix slashes
into dos slashes and runs i_view32 with the transformed filename.
Works like a charm.
