Ah, using -k0 the temp files aren't deleted.
--keep is set to 3 by default, you can experiment with higher values, so your temp directory will not be clobbered. > Now the path remains to be fixed.

I have no experience with Windows whatsoever, sorry. The problem is probably not in viewhtmlmsg.py but in the fixurl() function in pybrowser.py which translates /some/path - in this case the result of Python's standard tempfile.mkdtemp() + "index.html" - into file:///some/path which apparently breaks when Windows' drive letters get in the way. Feel free to contact me off-list to find out whether there is some kind of canonical or reliable way to overcome this problem. c -- Was heißt hier Dogma, ich bin Underdogma!
