Reading html email using mutt

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi Brandt,

I transmitted your question to Philippe Delavalade (the first ever Slint 
user
with Braille by the way), and I forward you his answer, translated to 
English.

I assume that you could replace lynx with w3m in his answer.

Cheers,
Didier

Philippe's message below:

Hi Didier.

Finally I have a few minutes free to answer you.

In the .muttrc file I have the line :
set mailcap_path="~/.mailcap"

In .mailcap I have theses two lines :
text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force_html '%s
application/xhtml+xml; lynx -force_html '%s'

Otherwise, in practice, once the message is opened with mutt, we press 'v',
with the up/down arrows you select the html part (or the multipart if 
there is
none), then you press 'm' and lynx opens and you read knowing that the 
cursor
is placed on the links

later,

Philippe
