Dear David,

 you wrote:

mhfixmsg: Don't know how to convert ..., there is no 
mhfixmsg-format-text/html profile entry

That is due to a different transformation, not decoding. By default
(-ref> ormat), mhfixmsg tries to add a text/plain part corresponding
to each text part that doesn't have one. In this case, that's the
text/html part.

Are you sure?  This message had both a text/pain and a corresponding
text/html part.


When nmh is installed, it looks for an external program (w3m, lynx,
or elinks) to convert html to text. The result is stored in
`mhparam etcdir`/mhn.defaults. (This is described in the man page.)
It looks like none was found in your case. Currently, mhfixmsg
treats that as an error when it encounters a text/html part. As
noted above, I'll change that.

Normally I use the version of nmh that I get my Linux distro; at the
moment this is Fedora 23 -> nmh-1.6-3.fc23.x86_64 ; this installs
/etc/nmh/mhn.defaults ; which entry would be needed?

All I can see is:

        -> grep -i html /etc/nmh/mhn.defaults
        mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html


Thanks for all your help!!

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
