Package: mutt Version: 1.9.1-3 Severity: normal With the lastest package we now have a regression of Bug#823971 https://bugs.debian.org/823971 where viewing text/html parts is displayed as the raw html instead of using mailcap. At the previous bug report time it was determined to be the loss of 611410-no-implicit_autoview-for-text-html.patch caused this.
There is also Bug#816706 https://bugs.debian.org/816706 which explains the original rationale for dropping this patch. In summary because this was behavior added in a patch and upstream implemented the functionality in a different way. With the latest version I read /usr/share/doc/mutt/NEWS.Debian.gz and see that this reversion to upstream is considered a necessary change. It was also noted that there are (at least) two ways of achieving this behavior in the stock upstream. 1) Use the 'm' key to use the view-mailcap action. 2) Add "auto_view text/html" to the muttrc to force viewing using mailcap. I am sending this bug report because I it appeared as a bug regression of Bug#823971 and I am sure will to others but reading the NEWS file I am swayed toward learning and using the upstream behavior. Therefore I am okay with either using 'm' to view the part instead of Return or configuring the "auto_view text/html" configuration. However noting there are other viewpoints I will attempt to CC other recipients that I know have an interest. To help users like me surprised by this it would be useful to add to the NEWS file with specific hints of this change. Therefore I might suggest something similar to this added to the NEWS file in the next upload. Due to the switch to upstream mutt some behaviors will have changed. This includes the patch implementing implicit autoview of text/html parts upon Return. The upstream behavior makes use of either 'm' to explicitly view parts using mailcap or setting "auto_view text/html" to enable it explicitly. Thank you for maintaining mutt in Debian.
