Bingo! I didn't have a .mailcap in my home directory, I
just created it populated with the line above. And now
my mutt puts the stuff into a Tab just like I wanted.
Mr Green is herewith added to my growing list of Geniuses!
How did you ever know about this, Mr Green? is this documented anywhere,
or did you intuit it? Maybe you are the mutt developer? You've
certainly added evidence to my claim, made in a different E-mail,
that E-mail, the killer app, is by no means a piece of cake to
set up correctly.
Anyway, many thanks, and I'll pass this along to the mutt E-list.
Greetings to all!
