I should find a replacement for SquirrelMail > sometime... I use Alpine, but it is like Mutt in that it also cannot display HTML email with images. The tactic I use to view such messages is to pipe the message to mhonarc. Here's a note I sent to the Alpine list: http://marc.info/?l=alpine-info&m=132160669800650 I pipe the raw text with free output to this command: mhonarc -add -nothread -reverse -outdir html -- - I have a directory called html that holds all the files. It has been working well so far. Once I have the message saved there, I'll strip off the images when I save the message in my usual mail folder. These messages are almost always junk that relatives send with a bunch of pictures of cute animals, or children. I'm sure my text-based Alpine email system seems weird to the young folks, but can find any message sent or received in the past 20 years in just a few minutes, and they can't. And there's a lot more than that. Alpine is very fast and easy for a lot of operations. Mike
