mutt waits for the viewing process to finish then deletes the file. debian uses a netscape wrapper, which means if netscape is already running, the "netscape" command makes it open a new window and then exits, meaning mutt will most often delete the file you are trying to view. There's no nice way around this I can see. Instead, view html email inline, using this mailcap entry (install w3m first): text/html; w3m -T text/html -dump %s ; copiousoutput and this .muttrc entry: set implicit_autoview auto_view text/html Tom. -- .^. .-------------------------------------------------------. /V\ | Tom Gilbert, London, England | http://linuxbrit.co.uk | /( )\ | Open Source/UNIX consultant | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ^^-^^ `-------------------------------------------------------'
