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

    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).

  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

    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.

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

  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.
