text/html email question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have the following line added to my .mailcap file.  I did not add
anything else to the .mime.types file.

text/html; lynx -force_html %s

Can't remember off the top of my head where I found this but it works
for me.  I simply hit the letter v while in one of those evil messages
and I see a single item that is text/html.  I can simply hit the enter
key and most of the time I can read with lynx, no problem.  I would
say that about 97% of that shitty spam comes in this format and I just
blow it by.  But Audible.com insists on using this method so I can use
it on their messages when I'm interested.
