html mail not displayed

[David Hedbor]

Hmm. I just received a mail with content-type text/html. It got
displayed as text/plain. I have previously had html-mails being
displayed correctly. After checking the headers I realized that simply 
adding Content-Transfer-Encoding to the non-displayed mail fixed the
problem.

Also, "W h" should probably be removed since it doesn't work
anymore. And when while I am talking html - I have a suggestion for
hyperlinks (ie all http://, not just in html-mails). What about having 
a menu on the right mouse button like:

Open URL
Open URL with external program
        (I prefer to view pages in netscape)
Copy URL to cutbuffer
        (copy the URL to the X cut buffer to be pasted in any program)

Or something like that.

Isn't that a browse-url issue?

Hmm. I don't know if I have it still, but I'll see if I can dig it up.

Don't know, but I guess that's possible. In HTML mails it doesn't seem
like browse-url is used at all - links are always opened in w3.
