Okay, I've set the BROWSER environment variable correctly, that is one step in the right direction. export BROWSER="/cygdrive/c/Programme/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe" Now the script launches the message into a new tab in FF when it is running. Alas, the message arrives completely empty. The URL in the URL bar is something like: file:///cygdrive/c/DOKUME~1/michael/LOKALE~1/Temp/viewhtmlmsg.NZxhlF/index.html That is the tempdir configured in Cygwin: TEMP=/cygdrive/c/DOKUME~1/michael/LOKALE~1/Temp TMP=/cygdrive/c/DOKUME~1/michael/LOKALE~1/Temp That Cygwin path is wrong for a Windows app. And if you look into %UserProfile\lokale~1\temp, there are no files created by your script. I can change TMP and TEMP to /tmp and files aren't showing up there either. Ah, using -k0 the temp files aren't deleted. Now the path remains to be fixed. It should be something like: file:///T:/Cygwin/tmp/viewhtmlmsg.94tExP/index.html Looks like I'd have to modify viewhtmlmsg (which runs in Cygwin, just like Mutt) to use the Cygwin path notation to pass the path in Windows notation to Windows apps. -- Michael Ludwig
