You need to put some stuff in your mailcap file and in your .muttrc. If you're interested I could send you my settings. Replying works as though you're replying to text, if you set things up right. Html only email works the same way. The program calls w3m to open the email in the pager window. For me, Mutt has taken the very real frustration out of html messages. -- Daniel Goldin 323.225.1926 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
