#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): And of course, the other alternative is to provide an entry in mime-types to view plain/text attachments. The nice thing about THAT approach is you can do fun stuff like have it pop up in a terminal window of just the right size, where you can decide what just the right size is programmatically, or pick numbers that suit you. Or you can pipe it to programs that will display a nice typeset version of it, etc. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3460#comment:11> Mutt <http://www.mutt.org/> The Mutt mail user agent
