Well, for reading there's mailcap:
==== ~/.mutt/mailcap ==== text/html ;w3m -dump -T "text/html" %s | less; needsterminal; ====
(you could use lynx or links too)
Of course, TB is probably nicer (esp. for writing ;)
-dnh, being glad to be able to use my usual mutt if X won't run Kmail works fabulously for me, especially in handling mailing lists.
Roger, you need to pay more attention to who's writing what. For example, I've tested kmail in KDE 1.1.1, 1.1.2, some KDE 2 version, some KDE 3 (I think), and I hated each version even more than the previous. I used XFMail for a while and when I found mutt and a solution for my setup with sendmail, I found what I'd always been looking for. I've now been using mutt for over a decade, with mboxen exceeding 50k mails and 200MB size on an old 500MHz Athlon w. 192-320 MB of RAM (that was used for 2001-late_2010), ~/mail is currently nigh 3 GB (and quite a lot of that is gzipped), including the complete suse-linux/opensuse-de and suse-linux-en/opensuse MLs since ~2001 (at least). $ l -h ~/mail/opensuse* --sort=size| head -2 -rw------- 1 dh dh 246M Nov 29 05:18 /home/dh/mail/opensuse -rw------- 1 dh dh 109M Nov 29 01:15 /home/dh/mail/opensuse-de Simply put, for me: kmail SUCKS. Planets. Through Buckytubes. It just won't do. Period. I might be tempted to look at a version 3.x. But don't hold your breath. With mutt, I can easily put e.g. arbitrary internal or external commands (e.g. learn/forget spam/ham commands/scripts) on arbitrary keys (and even that conditionally!) e.g. I have: macro index <F3> "| remove-spamscan-headers | bogofilter -Ns -v\n" "bogo learn spam" in my ~/.mutt/keybind[1]. And, as I wrote _ABOVE_ you don't need a running X to use mutt as you always do. Try that with kmail!
