You can use urlview by typing ^b. This lets you select links with the keyboard. If you really want to "click" on a link use a terminal emulator like gnome-terminal, which will do it for you. > > 4) What's the best way to handle HTML mail (please no /dev/null jokes > here ;) You can pipe it to a browser and treat it as a web page, or you can pipe it to a browser and get the browser to dump out plain text. I use the second solution. This is achieved by an entry in my .mailcap: text/html; links -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput > > I think that's about it, i like the fetchmail/spamassassin/procmail/mutt > system better than the big GUI mail-editor/filter system, so i would > like to become a permanent mutt user but for the reasons listed above i > seem to always to back to mozilla mail or evolution. Well, I think I've provided solutions for 3 of 4.
