Re: [orca-list] Mutt questions?

You need to install and configure urlview, and then best to have a mailcap file. 
I'm in a hurry, so rather than look at your file right now I'll just paste in the most important bits. I'll 
send you my mailcap file attached to this 
msg.
I can't remember for sure where mutt looks for a mailcap file by default, right now, but it's not going to 
hurt to source one. Actually just doing that 
and using the couple of bindings I define here will fix the things you ask about as long as you have urlview. 
Where it is best to edit urlview 
configuration varies between distrosassuming you use their default installation I think. I don't think you 
will have trouble with that, but ask if you 
want to see what I've done on arch. I should have an example for Vinux/Ubuntu as well.
To be clear, you will read html with review keys, control b will open a list of links with urlview, and if 
you want to see your links in context use v 
to open attachment list and press enter on the html file you want to read. Look in the attached mailcap and 
note that there is one entry to dump html in 
to the pager used to read messages when you press enter on them from the index and another entry that says 
what to do with html attachments. Everything 
received can be though of and viewed as an attachment in mutt to be clear about it.
The firefox entrie do not work well in most cases even when display is exported when mutt is run from a 
console, but should open firefox for you if you 
run mutt from a gnome, mate or other terminal-emulator in your x session. I never do that though, well almost 
never have. 
The mailcap file is a work in progresss, but as is works nicely not only for mutt, but with elinks to stream 
audio and video, etc.     

OK, the syntax is not source for my mailcap file, but a source line may work as well.
set mailcap_path        = ~/.mutt/mailcap
auto_view text/html
#set implicit_autoview = yes
## Uncomment below to read plain text instead of dumped html.
#alternative_order text/plain text/html *
set folder_format = "%2C %f %8s %t %F %-8.8u %N %d"
## Scrolls one line at a time, i.e. smoothly scrolls, instead of only moving up or down by whole pages, 
screen-fulls if you will
set menu_scroll = yes
#
## Some useful extra key bindings

bind attach <return>    view-mailcap
bind editor <Tab> complete        # default Mutt setting
 bind editor ^T complete-query
 unset query_command               # default Mutt setting
bind editor <space> noop

I have a few other goodies in my muttrc if you do not already have a copy of it, let me know and I'll pass 
along.

I have two questions re:  the setup of mutt email client:

1) how do I get mutt to launch a browser and pass the selected link from 
a message?
2) How do I make tab completion and the alias menu work?

Attached is a sample ~/.muttrc, with the only difference being that 
personally-identifiable info is removed.  Using this configuration, I 
can launch a browser using 'ctrl-b', but no url is selected.  In the 
message header input fields, the only way I can get aliases expanded is 
to type the entire nickname; tab just rings the terminal bell, and no 
menu ever comes up.

Thanks for any help,


Dave
