Re: mutt for mailing list archive
it would be nice send commands directly to the mail server (mailman, majordomo, what have you) to pull the archive. with date range and so on. does anyone know of such command?
Troubles with html attachments
Hi everybody. First of all, I want to apologie for my poor english :-) I have used mutt for many years under Debian but I'm now moving to Slackware and I meet some troubles with attachments. Maybe that comes from mime.types, from mailcap or from muttrc, I don't knwo... When I receive an attachment in html format, I hope it is read with lynx but in fact, I can see it as a txt file. In ~/.mailcp I have the line : text/html; lynx -force_html '%s'; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html I have also tried text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force_html %s; needsterminal; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html But neither works. In the mime.types file I have just the line text/html html htm shtml In my .muttrc file I can see these lines attachments +A */.* attachments +I text/plain attachments +I text/html I don't understand what they mean and didn't find explanations in the manual. Thanks for any help. -- Ph. Delavalade

I've got a script that will download mailman archives. That sort of amounts to sending commands to the server.
