Notice that you don't have to use full paths in .mailcap. As mutt
passes mailcap commands to sh you can use one of these 2 to make your
.mailcap more portable:
text/html; $HOME/bin/see_html %s
text/html; ~/bin/see_html %s
And if see_html is in your $PATH:
text/html; see_html %s
Personally, I use
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tampakrap/bin/master/viewhtmlmail.py.
The good thing about it is that it can also display images embedded in
html messages. I have this in my .muttrc:
macro pager <F10> "<pipe-message>~/bin/viewhtmlmail.py\n" "ViewHTML in browser"
