No problem; you could well get other opportunities to check as and when these sporadic emails arrive, even if you change the means by which you receive them from their last hop. Cheers, David.

As I have my own domain, it was trivial to create a mailbox on the mail host and use Mutt/Neomutt's bounce command (b) to 'bounce' the mail in question to that mailbox and then retrieve it with Evolution. It's an extra step but means that I don't have to abandon Neomutt for an inferior mail program. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.

In the past I used kmail when I ran KDE. After switching back to Debian + Gnome about 18 months ago I opted to use Evolution since it was included "for free". Any mailer that can display HTML + Javascript inline would work, I suppose. In ancient times I used Pegasus on Windows 3.1. When I switched to Linux full time in early '98 I used Netscape Mail. I found it cumbersome with a multitude of mailing list subscriptions so I switched to Mutt sometime in '99. About two years ago I switched to neomutt. I see it is now shown as unavailable in Testing. Since I get email that seems to require HTML and javascript from various entities, this is a quick solution for me for the odd time I actually care to look at such mail. IMAP is out of the question for me unless I figure out some way to run a local IMAP server. I'm not particularly interested in doing so. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."

It sounds, from some replies to this thread, as if these are not attachments, but are references contained in the HTML. (I presume that you know about "v", to list attachments, and that attachments can be email-type entities on which you can use "v" again. List digests are like this.) > Rather than hassle with mutt, I hoped to install an auxiliary mail > client with GUI (such as Thunderbird) with which I could open such > messages, view the links, and print the attachments. I read most HTML-only emails, and the mixed ones where the text version is seemingly unrelated to the HTML one, with "v" and then "m" to activate a line from my mutt's mailcap_path: text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force-html -localhost -stdin The "l" command in lynx will display the links in the HTML. On security grounds, I generally prefer not to visit them under my own username, so I paste them into a browser. > But Thunderbird is demanding the URLs of POP and SMPT servers, and I > do not wish to allow Thunderbird to mess around with my mail, other > than viewing specific messages. > > One approach would be to get a mail account strictly for this purpose, > and set up a complete Thunderbird mail system using that account. > > But is there a better solution? Another method I use, for example when shops send discount coupons in HTML emails, is to type "v" in mutt and save only the HTML part in /tmp/foo, then type Ctrl-o in a browser and open /tmp/foo. Whether any of these solutions is better depends on how frequently you use them, what the trade-off is, how much you can automate them, etc. Note that, for real attachments, and HTML emails read by lynx as above, nobody knows you've opened the email. Once you move to the browser, then the sender knows. Side effects are not always obvious; in the former case, banks might complain that you're not reading their "important" missives, and companies might stop sending you their marketing junk. In the latter case, there are obvious security implications. Cheers, David.

Yes; the messages contain links to articles on the web, and some messages have PDF attachments. >(I presume that you know about "v", to list attachments, and that >attachments can be email-type entities on which you can use "v" >again. List digests are like this.) Yes; but URLview is not always successful in sorting out the links. Sometimes the output of URLview is (to me) indecipherable; other times, URLview works well. I think the problem is that the mail client which cobbled together the message bungled the job; and I suspect that a newsletter I receive several times a week from a cattle raiser's association is generated by a mass mailer. These defects obviously are not a problem for the M$Window$ crowd, and I am hoping that Thunderbird is able to work around them. >I read most HTML-only emails, and the mixed ones where the text >version is seemingly unrelated to the HTML one, with "v" and then >"m" to activate a line from my mutt's mailcap_path: > > text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force-html -localhost -stdin > >The "l" command in lynx will display the links in the HTML.

I dislike email written in HTML, but sometimes an important message is written in HTML; in that event, I rather use a mail client such as Thunderbird. >Another method I use, for example when shops send discount coupons in >HTML emails, is to type "v" in mutt and save only the HTML part in >/tmp/foo, then type Ctrl-o in a browser and open /tmp/foo.

In the latter case, there are obvious security implications. I had not thought of that. Perhaps someone should devise a method whereby a cookie automatically is replaced by a cookie which appears valid but in which some vital aspect of the identity of the recipient has been altered. RLH

Just so there's no misunderstanding, I don't use urlview, so the "v" and "m" commands are just using mutt and my little mailcap file to call lynx. BTW having to press "m" is a recent change; until stretch, <return> would suffice. It's possibly explained at https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt/issues/430 Cheers, David.

This works as I hoped it would. It took all of two minutes to set up a new mail account on a domain hosted by hostgator.com, and Thunderbird auto-configured immediately upon being given the mail address and password. In neomutt, "b" simply moves to the next message, so I must type ":exec bounce-message", but this for me is a good solution. RLH

You can bind something to that command; I have
bind pager ,b bounce-message
in ~/.mutt/muttrc, which saves some typing.
Cheers,
