Though I don't recall whether I had ever heard of nmh. (but that's the beauty of a very diverse ecosystem - "everything possible, sometimes slightly less featureful") And yes, doing lynx -dump, too. Though I've been bitten by Micro$oft-Office-originating HTML encoding mis-attribution (read, CORRUPTION) recently (see my recent ML discussions I believe). It's very important that many users try to keep up reporting/maintenance of even some of the more obscure components in this universe. > hundred inlined emails Yeah, that's basically the very same use case effect as with git log -p or git show, where one can extremely quickly search through massive chunks of SCM history, as opposed to that abomination called Micro$oft TFS, which in case of non-committed state only allows for right-click-context-menu-analyse this-item that-item item-#399 (providing perfect guarantee towards mouse-induced RSI).
