I should probably have indicated that 'copiousoutput' should be on the SAME line as "application/pdf; pdftotext %s %s.txt \; cat %s.txt \; rm -f %s.txt ;" I don't use it myself anymore so I tried it now and that works. I would also change the ~/.muttrc entry to: auto_view text/html application/pdf (leave out the 'message/*') I am a bit rusty on mutt mime so I copied from an old laptop I hardly ever use anymore where I also have the following line in the ~/.mailcap file: text/html; elinks -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput to get a text vesion of html mail.
