thanks for the report, that'll be fixed in the next upload later today. >The actual problem: >When I mhshow a message with a text/html part on the linux virtual >terminal, the current mhn.defaults invokes "run-mailcap --action=view", >which in turn invokes sensible-browser, which on my system happens to >produce output not suitable for display in a pager - ie lots of >escape sequences. the fact that run-mailcap may or may not produce ideal output for terminal or paged use isn't nmh's problem. i most definitely don't want nmh to depend on particular browsers or blob viewers, so i set the default mhn.defaults to the really low common denominator of run-mailcap. as this is just the default mhn config, nothing keeps people from overriding this with their personal variations that are finetuned for x/console/whatever use. personally i think the NEWS.Debian that i added to 1.6-6 does spell out the options sufficiently well, but i'm certainly open to suggestions to make this more obvious. regards az -- Alexander Zangerl + GPG Key 0xB963BD5F + http://snafu.priv.at/ I'm picturing Windows NT jamming a network backbone going 'la la la la I can't hear you la la la la la' -- Graham Reed
