OK for the limitations about "formatted content" (these limitations are a feature to many people). But images and other file attachments are much easier to deal with in mutt than in gmail. They are just seamlessly opened by whatever image viewer you have chosen.
- leephillips 6y agoAnd you can put a shell pipeline in your mailcap file, so you can pre- or post-process your attachments as well as simply viewing them.
- pge 6y agoThe two things that I had trouble with last time I used Mutt were calendar invitations from outlook or google calendar, and html pages (without opening firefox). Any suggestions on best practices?
- leephillips 6y agoFor HTML, set auto_view text/html in your startup file, and Mutt will consult your mailcap file to see what viewer you prefer. It will use that (lynx, w3m, etc) to display the HTML email in the pager as a default. For calendar invitations: I've never tried to integrate that, but if they are attachments with a mime type, you can put instructions for processing them in the mailcap as well.
