What solution to: "mailcap entry for type text/html not found"?

mailcap entry for type text/html not found


What might be the cause of that?


And what to do about it?


(Maybe *I* screwed-up by deleting something I shouldn't have?)

Thanks,

David

The problem seems to be that you don't have a mailcap file containing an
entry for text/html where mutt is looking for one. This could be
because your mailcap file was moved, deleted or corrupted, or because
the value of the 'mailcap_path' variable changed, or because you're
using a different mutt that was built with a different default
'mailcap_path'.

Take a look at the mutt manual, section 3, "MIME Viewer configuration
with mailcap", for a description of the places mutt looks by default.
You can find the values of the variables mentioned there by executing

mutt -v

at your shell prompt. You can find the current value of 'mailcap_path'
by executing

set ?mailcap_path
