Re: [Nmh-workers] rcvdist with non-default port

Did you know you can run mhstore(1) under another name, e.g. with a
symlink, and it uses that to look up the .mh_profile entries.  You could
have a second ...-show-text/html definition in the normal $MH.

No, I didn't know that.  Thank you for pointing it out!

I'm running into another roadblock with the HTML+images viewer that I'm
trying to put together.

My sample HTML message for this has a single image, and when I read it in
an IMAP client such as K-9 Mail (an Android app which I occasionally use
on my phone), the page comes up with the image in place.

When I extract the HTML portion and attachment from the message with
mhstore, I do get both components, but the HTML portion no longer contains
an <img> tag to load the image.  Do you have any advice on how to deal with
this?[*]

  Thanks,

     - Steven

    My test message is an example of the main reason why I care about
    viewing HTML messages with images intact.

    Specifically, the message is a notice from Canada Post that a package
    is available to be picked up at my local post office, and the image
    is a barcode of the tracking number.

    The message text also contains the tracking number, and it's possible
    to collect the package without the barcode, but in that case the
    counter clerk has to key in the tracking number manually.  I'm trying
    to be kind to them by printing the message with the barcode intact,
    and I'd prefer not to have to do that by opening the message in some
    other mail client.
