Yes. otoh, I can always blame Python's webbrowser module when something breaks ;-) Try, unix-like: BROWSER=/path/to/browser viewhtmlmsg testhtmlmsg > If the name supplied is not one of those, couldn't you just > launch it with the filename as an argument? The rationale for my lazyness is that the webbrowser module should be more cross platform. I don't know about windows, but it already makes things a lot easier on Mac. I spent more effort in handling text browsers (in potential conjunction with screen) in the included pybrowser script (also used by the urlview replacement urlpager) and, in the spirit of Mutt, try to make the GUI part, so to speak, as lightweight as possible.
