Hi,
A couple days ago, a significant portion of my incoming mail is
arriving as an HTML attachment only, where previously, HTML formatted
emails showed up as semi-readable text and also as an attachment. I
have not messed with sup recently.
How do you recommend dealing with HTML attachments? I hit <enter> on
the attachment and it says "Couldn't execute view command, viewing as
text." Any way to bring this up in a web browser?
Thanks.

I use a text-mode browser called w3m to view HTML. Sup will invoke it
as necessary (on Ubuntu, at least) if you put the following in your
~/.mailcap file:
text/html; /usr/bin/w3m -o confirm_qq=false -T text/html '%s'; needsterminal; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html

Hi,
I use a mime-hook like this for inline html:
in ~/.sup/hooks$ cat mime-decode.rb :
case content_type
when "text/html"
`/usr/bin/lynx -dump '#{filename}'`
end
To view html when hitting enter you could set your browser in ~/.mailcap:
text/html; firefox %s
best,
/p

Add this to your ~/.mailcap
text/html; /path/to/browser '%s'; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html

Thanks for the tip!
However, it's still telling me it can't execute the command.
Prior to this, I had no .mailcap. I created one and restarted sup.
Do I need to somehow tell sup about this?
Thanks.

You may need to install w3m and possibly run-mailcap (part of the mime-support
package on Ubuntu).

The mime-decode.rb hook does the trick.
Still can't get sup to invoke w3m when I hit <enter> on HTML
attachments. W3m is installed. Something isn't hooked up correctly.
But oh well, we'll save that for the next guy.
Thanks, all.

Primary options were already introduced by others.
I use publish hook to view attachments (and html-messages) in browser.
Just hit P and click the link.
I run sup screened in a vps box, so mailcapping html to browser is not
an option for me. My publish.rb looks like this

Feel free to use.

I also run sup in screen, sometimes from a remote system via ssh, so
that's why I chose w3m as the mailcap'd browser.

I do w3m too. Most (~90%) of the time it does exactly what I want,
but sometimes (say with images, pdf:s and strangely laid out html
documents) an url to the document is a must.

I can highly recommend lynx'x dump mode for inline html: it
produces a "references" suffix which displays all URI's from the
links in the document. This works great con combination with
urxvt's url-select script.
