I do not believe there is any relationship between POPing your mail and using lynx to view html emails. Here is my entry in my ~/.mailcap file: text/html; lynx %s; needsterminal; nametemplate=%s.html After you POP the mail, you need to view it (you don't view it as you POP it). The above .mailcap entry should allow you to use lynx to view text/html email sent to you. Shawn -- Immanuel doesn't pun, he Kant.
