This package has no maintainer so this bug may go unnoticed for a long time. Gentoo has a dedicated team[1] for assisting users in maintaining orphaned packages. If you are interested in maintaining this package, please contact proxy-maint@gentoo.org.

As its description says in upstream: htmlview and launchmail are tools for launching Preferred Applications. This package exists for compatibility reasons and is likely to be removed later when equivalent functionality is implemented elsewhere. You need to migrate to xdg-open and co (from xdg-utils) http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/htmlview.git/tree/dead.package
Reassigning to treecleaners. Please, do not mask this package until we get resolution in dependant bugs, thanks.
Ok, no revdeps in tree for now, PMASKED. # Dion Moult <moult@gentoo.org> (12 Feb 2014) # Masked for removal in 30 days. Removed as this was a compatibility hack # package, with equivalent functionality already implemented elsewhere (xdg-open # and co). (bug #480522) www-client/htmlview
