I use the attached lines in my ~/.mailcap to use w3m as an HTML viewer.
I also have another entry (earlier within mailcap, not attached here)
which tests for a display and starts w3m in a separate xterm.
One rule "dump"s the rendered HTML page in the mail view, which is very
often sufficient If I want to open it in a browsable way (with the
requested hyperlinks), I press "v" (<view-attachments>) and press
return (<view-attach>) on the HTML attachment.
Let me capture this thread and ask a question: How can mutt tell w3m
which charset to use? In the attached mailcap, I force ISO-8859-1, but
that's just a hack. In true honesty, I get some ISO and some UTF-8
coded HTML attachments. Assuming the attachment is correctly
MIME-denoted in the header (which is mostly the case), how can I pass
this on to w3m? Any ideas?
Thanks,
