The muttils package propose a handy command, called viewhtmlmsg, which enables mutt to open directly the html version of an email in the browser (if it exists, i.e., mostly when we receive a multipart/alternative email from traditional GUI programs). Directly means: "without requiring to view attachments (with <v> by default), then scroll to the html, then hit <Enter> or <m> to view the attachment".
However, it's been a few (?) months that this command silently fails to open the mail in the browser. I tried a bit to hack into the python code, I can print and see some messages, but cannot find the real point of problem yet. The developpement of muttils seems inactive.
So, I ask fellow mutt users:
- do you have a similar problem and a workaround?
- if not, do you have another solution (macro and/or lib) to open an email in browser without fiddling with the "view attachments" screen?
