solving *your* problem? possible solutions: (1) read your personal mail from home. (2) read your personal with some other mail client. (3) read your personal on another system. you might be able to switch the system and/or the client at work. and i suppose you have full flexibility to use whatever system at home. unix or not. and there are public systems with shell accounts. my point: this is *not* a _mutt_ problem. mutt problems can be solved by installing it differently in the first place or by changing its configuration files. you might also get a solution by installing another program - but then it is usually a problem of installing and configuring that. however: using windows xp at work with mutt is just a workaround to the real problem. so do not make it a mutt problem just because you see mutt on windowsxp as the only solution. opening the browser is *not* a mutt problem. on unixes this problem is left to "urlview". SecureCRT was mentioned as *one* solution as an interface to the browser. did you try that yet? besides, i do not think that the work place is supposed to give internet access to employess for reading their personal email. but if your boss agrees to that - fine! now, maybe you can ask your boss to allow a pc to run some kind of free unix system with elm, mutt, mush, nail, or pine for reading mail. or maybe just open ssh for outbound connections. then again, this might clash with security and the fire wall of the company. it all depends. usually the best solution is the one used at home. so you are looking for better ways to start the browser? fine. make urlview start some script then which accesses the browser. this might be a script in some ported shell or window's shell. but the script will run on windows, so it certainly won't be a mutt config script. this is not mutt any more. therefore it is not a mutt problem. see? think differently. the solution is elsewhere. and discussing further problems resulting from this can be discussed elsewhere, too. such scripts can be the solution which can be used by a helper application to mutt - but they do not solve a problem with mutt itself. i certainly welcome solutions such like these scripts, esp on some webpage - and i will also link to these. but the discussion of such problems which cannot be solved by changing mutt's configuration files *only* should probably be discussed elsewhere - and not here. discussing the configuration of urlview might still be on topic here (depending on your definition) - but scripting windowsxp is definitely not on topic. remember: mutt is *not* a browser interface. and it is *not* a shell, either. that's what i am pointing out. i hope you can deal with that. now, there are many newsgroups on the microsoft news server. i'll attach a list for you. these groups *might* be appropriate to configure your windowsxp: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize microsoft.public.windowsxp.general microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely i do not claim to know whether these newsgroups can really help you - but then again M$ does not pay me for solving your windowsxp problem. your problem is an windowsxp problem. or maybe it is a problem with your computers available at work. but these are not on topic here. still, i hope that the list of newsgroups can help you find people with knowledge about windowsxp scripting and access to the browsers used on that system. good luck!
