9.6.5 Reading mail – Mutt
Use mutt as the mail user agent (MUA) in combination with
vim. Customize with ~/.muttrc; for example:
# use visual mode and "gq" to reformat quotes
set editor="vim -c 'set tw=72 et ft=mail'"
#
# header weeding taken from the manual (Sven's Draconian header weeding)
#
ignore *
unignore from: date subject to cc
unignore user-agent x-mailer
hdr_order from subject to cc date user-agent x-mailer
auto_view application/msword
....
Add the following to /etc/mailcap or $HOME/.mailcap
to display HTML mail and MS Word attachments inline:
text/html; lynx -force_html %s; needsterminal;
application/msword; /usr/bin/antiword '%s'; copiousoutput;
description="Microsoft Word Text"; nametemplate=%s.doc
