Package: debianutils
Version: 2.14.3
Severity: wishlist

I read email with mutt, and browse html with ff. So when I receive
html mail, I can use mutt to open the html attachment in ff. Mutt
creates a temporal file in /tmp/, which is deleted after the program
exits. 

The problem is when you have ff (or moz) already opened, and use
'mozilla-firefox -remote url' or gnome-moz-remote or
sensible-browser. Those programs just do 'exec' and exit, and then
mutt deletes the /tmp/ file, before the browser can read it.

My dirty workaround is to put '&& sleep 5' after the command in the
.mailcap entry:

text/html; mozilla-firefox -remote "openURL(%s,new-tab)" && sleep 5; test=test 
-n "$DISPLAY";

This is not a bug in the programs mentioned, rather a lack of guides
to make them friendly with each other.

I think at least sensible-browser should behave as expected.
