It looks like links is listed in your mailcap as the default viewer for text/html. This is a problem, since mutt expects something that will just take the html as input and give something else back on output, whereas links tries to run interactively. Hopefully this helps you understand why it's failing; to fix it, follow Stephen's suggestions. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.eff.org/ Defeinding freedom in the digital world
