I have given up on trying to get netscape to open, too. So I hand
edited the /etc/mailcap file as you indicated above. I'm not real
pleased with the debian mailcap setup now, here's how it works for
me..
I open mutt and select mail from index, if it's an html mail html2text
program is executed, from there I can use urlview to get a netscape
window or else
view attachment->opens links->use links browser to do whatever? (now I
have yet another program to learn..)
sigh..
