What are you bitching about now? I seldom type the letters "mutt" at
a command line; only when I want to blast an existing file somewhere.
The rest of the time, Gkrellm fires it up inside an xterm. With the
following, a web browser will do the same with mailto links (Ben
Okopnik is editor at linuxgazette.net):
--------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# install in /usr/local/bin/pinehelper.pl, create a link
# /usr/bin/pinehelper which points at it, then edit the user's
# prefs.js in ~/.mozilla/firefox/$blah.default:
#
# user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto", \
# "/usr/bin/pinehelper");

my ( @chunks, $k, $v, %header, $opts);
@chunks = split /[?&]/, shift;
for ( @chunks ) {
( $k, $v ) = split /[:=]/;
# Cheap-ass entity conversion
#
( $header{ $k } = $v ) =~ s/%(..)/pack("H2",$1)/eg;
}
# Define Mutt switches for any headers we're interested in, including

$opts = qq[ -s "$header{subject}" ] if exists $header{subject};
$opts .= $header{mailto};
