What do I do to fix? I had this one recently myself... Try installing html2text (or w3m or lynx or another html viewer) and see if it sets itself up to view html files instead. If you still get this error, then look into /etc/mailcap.order to control what program is used to view html files. I can't remember the exact problem, but I think you're seeing some X11 program or other attempt to load the html attachment. The /dev/dsp error is a red herring, that wouldn't (shouldn't) stop the viewer loading. (I added this to my /etc/mailcap.order file, BTW, to make html attachments be viewed in w3m.) w3m: text/html (On a side note, what's wrong with your sound card?) -- =========================================================== Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 4th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
