I tried that with and without having the mime-decode.rb ## turn text/html attachments into plain text, unless they are part ## of a multipart/alternative pair unless sibling_types.member? "text/plain" case content_type when "text/html" `/usr/bin/w3m -dump -T #{content_type} '#{filename}'` end end in .sup/hooks Some html emails that I receive work fine - I can read them as text. But some are just displayed as an attachment every time. I can open them with mime-view - but I would prefer to have the text displayed without further interaction... Attached is one of those messages - perhaps someone more enlightened than me could have a short look and knows instantly why sup does not do the correct thing? ;-) Many thanks!
