Thanks. That did it.
Roland Rosenfeld:
|BTW: does it make sense to combine "needsterminal" and "copiousoutput"
|in one mailcap entry?
I'm no expert, but intuitively needsterminal means the program is text-mode
interactive (e.g. lynx -force_html), while "copiousoutput" just means it
spews much output which the client must provide a pager for (lynx
-force_html -dump). The latter could be an input-only Motif window with a
scrollbar, mutt's internal pager, ...whatever, but that would only be
acceptable if needsterminal isn't present.
The metamail(1) man page appears to confirm this interpretation for
needsterminal.
Thanks for the help,
Randall
