Hi, Paul,
The .mailcap entry is pretty basic:
text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -dump %s -cols $COLUMNS; copiousoutput;
description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html
That's how I view these messages directly in mutt. However, if I want
to see a more browser-like appearance, I defined some macros:
# Macros
macro pager B ":unset wait_key\n<pipe-message>mhonarc -single | browser\n:set
wait_key\n"
macro index B ":unset wait_key\n<pipe-message>mhonarc -single | browser\n:set
wait_key\n"
macro pager l "<pipe-message>mhonarc -single | w3m -T text/html\n"
You would, of course, need to install MHonArc and Browser. MHonArc
reformats any message, even text/plain, into a reasonably good looking
HTML. Browser sends it to the default browser.
I could probably come up with some further enhancements, but this
seems to be working pretty well for now. In particular, I don't know
of a way to get a "livlier" html display (colors, highlighted links,
etc.) right inside the mutt display.
