Hello,

I have a little problem that I can't quite figure out (OS is Debian 10.9). On 
my current system, using Mutt 2.1.5, I have to use 'm' (view with mailcap) to 
open an html part in lynx; hitting Enter simply dumps the contents into the 
pager.

On an older system, using NeoMutt 1.7.2, I needed only hit Enter on the html 
and it would open in lynx.

Is this a difference in mutt versions, OS versions, or is it a configuration 
issue? When does one need to press 'm' to use the mailcap entry to view, and 
when does pressing just Enter suffice?

This might be one of those instances in which the difference between <Enter> and <Return> makes a difference. In newer mutt instances the same thing was happening to me (or at least I _think_ I remember this happening) and I had to add this to my .muttrc:

bind attach <Return> view-mailcap

That fixed the issue.

Cheers,
