Hi,
many people send their mails in HTML format only.  Currently, I open them 
in an external browser.  But seeing them inline would be nice.
 Is there a way how to do this?
Best regards,
Robert

A mime-decode hook could accomplish this.

See:
<https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/wiki/Viewing-Attachments#decoding-attachments>.

You would need w3m installed, and to create the file
~/.sup/hooks/mime-decode.rb containing contents as above.

Another alternative (but which wouldn't display the HTML inline) is to
create a mailcap file ~/.mailcap containing:

text/html; /usr/bin/w3m -T text/html %s; needsterminal; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html

With this alternative, pressing enter on a .html file would display it
in w3m, instead of launching a desktop GUI browser.

Kind regards,
Iain

Hi Iain,

Thanks again! I added the following code

require 'shellwords' 
unless sibling_types.member? "text/plain" 
    case content_type 
    when "text/html" 
        `/usr/bin/w3m -dump -T #{content_type} #{Shellwords.escape 
filename}` 
    end 
end

in a new hook ~/.sup/hooks/mime-decode.rb

Let's see how it works.

Best regards, 
Robert
