My rants about everything

So, a couple of weeks ago I posted a href="http://blog.langly.org/hacking/05022008-mutt-htmlmail">entry on how
to make your favorite mail client ( MUTT ) read HTML mails, using links. Now
for most mails that works just fine, but I seemed to have some problems with
certain character sequences. Now, I did some playing around, only to figure out
that the easiest thing was to switch the embedded reader to w3m instead. ( It
seems like elinks have some problems with chars that look like this: \123 )

So, the quick fix is to put this in your .mailcap file instead:

text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput

and it will display everything correctly
