Mutt, Pine, and HTML with Graphics


Hello,

Are the Mutt and/or Pine e-mail programs capable of displaying HTML, especially HTML with frames and graphics?

Never tried it, but according to documentation I found you can use a .mailcap file that can direct mutt/pine to use an external app to view the html document. Lynx does not handle frames, but Links does. With graphics as far as I know, you need to run mutt/pine in an xterm type console session and open the html document using a graphics app, such as a web browser.

To read HTMLized mail with Mutt install w3m and to .mailcap add:
