#3460: view-attachments menu "view-attach" command uses auto_view for all text attachments, even when a suitable interactive command is in the mailcap file. This is particularly bad for text/html attachments. ------------------------------------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: ajschorr | Owner: mutt-dev Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: mutt | Version: 1.5.20 Keywords: mutt_needs_mailcap text/html view-attach | ------------------------------------------------------+---------------------
Comment(by derekmartin): I disagree. The help for the view-attach command (<ENTER>) says, "view attachment using mailcap entry if necssary." If you have an auto-view setting for the given attachment type, it's NOT necessary. Generally, this is what I want -- that is, Mutt should show me things it can show me without resorting to mailcap. Sometimes, I do want to see the HTML rendered in a heavyweight browser... and I can: by pressing 'm' to force it to use mailcap. This is a Good Thing (tm). -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3460#comment:4> Mutt <http://www.mutt.org/> The Mutt mail user agent
