I have installed Mutt on OSX. I am trying to configure Mutt to view HTML emails. I have added an auto_view
directive and mailcap file. However whenever I open an email in html it simply shows up as text.
My configuration files:
~/.muttrc
:
set imap_user = 'REDACTED'
set imap_pass = 'REDACTED'
set smtp_url = 'smtps://REDACTED@REDACTED'
set smtp_pass = 'REDACTED'
set record=""
set folder = imaps://REDACTED/
set spoolfile = +INBOX
set record = "REDACTED"
set postponed = "REDACTED"
set mbox="imaps://REDACTED"
set trash="imaps://REDACTED"
auto_view text/html
~/.mutt/.mailcap
:
text/html; elinks -force-html %s
text/plain; less
I thought the mailcap file might be in the wrong place so I also tried moving it to ~/.mailcap
, ~/.mutt/.mailcap
, and ~/.mutt/mailcap
but with no success.
I have also tried adding ; needsterminal
into my mailcap file for the text/html
line.
I tried opening a HTML file I had with the elinks
command in the mailcap file and it succeeded.
