Bug 361857 – mail-client/mutt-1.5.21-r1: .mailcap ignored for text/*

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Alex Efros 2011-04-03 23:58:14 UTC]

Configuration in ~/.mailcap works as expected for any mime types except text/*.
Any text/* mime types are always shown using mutt's internal pager.
This make text/html emails unreadable.

/etc/mutt/Muttrc is empty. Replacing it with /etc/mutt/Muttrc.dist has no effect.
Removing /etc/mailcap has no effect.

Reproducible: Always

I've just tried mutt-1.5.20-r18, just to make sure it doesn't have this bug - and it works correctly (don't ignore ~/.mailcap for text/*).

More details about this issue: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3246

Adding 'autoview text/html' into ~/.muttrc works for me.
