No problem.

Thanks to Leah who now maintain it so wonderful! Thanks, Leah!

|In my .mailrc, no settings related to html were defined.

|Unfortunately, when I read a message, the HTML is simply not displayed.

|
| [-- #1.2 1497/60620 text/html, quoted-printable, utf-8 --]

| [-- #1.1.2 253/19290 text/html, quoted-printable, utf-8 --]
That looks if the HTML is part of a multipart/alternative MIME
message. We always go for the text part then, but you could
set mime-alternative-favour-rich
to select the HTML version instead. This mechanism is pretty
primitive in pre-v15, other MUAs allow reordering and listing
priorities, but i use this setting myself since some
correspondences simply have an empty text "alternative" which
refers to the HTML one instead, so i have no choice. (And i am
too lazy and/or the MUA is not (yet) sophisticated enough to
filter for something and be selective about it.)
|If I try the 'mimeview' command, same behavior applies.
This is for MIME parts such, attachments that is mostly. The
above seem to be "sub"parts of an alternative selection.
|During my interactive tests, I decided to force display 'text/html' as
|plain text with the following command. It has no effect :
|
| set pipe-text/html=?t
|
|The trick was to use 'set pipe-text/html=?', without the 't'. Could it
|be possible that the '?h' we saw earlier from mime types, is not
|understood ?
t is optional, ? and ?t should be the same thing. Hmm, we do test
these act equally. Hm. And yes, the order of MIME types matters.
These ?xy type-markers are the last possible source of
information. (This is documented in the manual section "HTML mail
and MIME attachments".)
|Even if I know HTML tagsoup will be enough, I copy pasted the following
|line from the man page (after 'unmimetype text/html'), as the last
|attempt :
|
| set pipe-text/html='?* lynx -stdin -dump -force_html'
|
|Same as before, nothing is displayed.
Not for alternative parts unless the above setting is set, yes.
|On Ubuntu 20.04, s-nail is a bit more "old" but it suffers from the same
|symptoms.

|Going back to s-nail (as I was already doing in 2014) after using a

|I also take this opportunity to thank you for your hard work and all
|these years of maintaining s-nail. We are attached to it.
Well, thank you. So much to do still, but i really would like to
see it furtherly improved for sure. I am just too slow ...
Thanks.
Ciao from Germany!
