I think, I have a little more clever way to handle html mail... I
agree, html mail is bad. But a lot of Windoze people uses it, and
mutt has ways to handle that, and after reading the email you can
still give them a warning not to use html mail...

I do not have the original posting, but I hope Christian is still on
the list:-))
There it is:

You need to edit/setup three files:

1. ".mailcap" file in your home dir

Include the following line:
text/html;  links -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput·

You can use lynx instead, if you do not have links

2. ".mime.types"

Include this:
text/html               html htm

3. ".muttrc"

Include the following:

auto_view  text/html·

After this 'voila all the html junk will be readable
text...



Hope this helps... -- Viktor
