As a comment to recent discussion about viewing html attachments.
For some time I have used pipe command and lynx to view html attachments.
I wanted to automate this trick and here is the result


macro index,attach <f5> '<view-attachments>/html<enter>| "/usr/bin/lynx0"<enter>' 'display html attachment'

macro index,attach <f6> '<view-attachments>/html<enter>| "/usr/bin/lynx1"<enter>' 'display html attachment'

# Below content of /usr/bin/lynx0
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/281/bin/lynx -stdin -dump -force_html | less 

# Below content of /usr/bin/lynx1
#!/bin/sh
cat > i.html
/usr/local/281/bin/lynx i.html 

macros should be placed in /.muttrc of course.
Using F6 offers full access to html attachment.
