Hi, Kevin, Ah mailcap, yeah thats the one, but: text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force_html '%s'; needsterminal; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html produces Invoking autoview command: /usr/bin/lynx -force_html ''/tmp/mutt.html'' in the mutt status bar and just hangs. I have auto_view text/html in my .muttrc It was all working perfectly before. :-( -- Chris. ====== -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
