[Tipz] html email

[Ari Pollak]

As an addition to that, if you're running mutt, you can add the 
following to your .mailcap (it's usually already in /etc/mailcap if 
you're using links on a sane distribution, as I know Debian does that 
for sure):

text/html; /usr/bin/links -dump '%s'; copiousoutput; description=HTML
Text; nametemplate=%s.html

Then, if for some sadistic reason you want to see HTML mail by default 
if it exists, add the following to your .muttrc:

auto_view text/html

While I'm on the subject, one more mutt tip for the day (since Ian asked 
about it and muncus didn't have it enabled on his setup) - if you'd like 
a split message index/pager view, where you can see both some of the 
mailbox you're in as well as the message itself, like some people have 
on Emacs, put something like the following in your .muttrc:

set pager_index_lines=6
