Hi Greg
First of all, it looks like you using _m_mh not _n_mh.

I'm trying to extract part of a multipart message sent to me
by Firefox Mobile in order to save my mobile tabs. I would
like to extract the text/html part as that is the part which has
the tab titles as well as the urls. Note: I've indented quoted
I/O with 4 spaces and used ellipses ... to replace some bits.
When I list my message with
mhlist -file mobile-tabs.eml -part 1
I get
mhlist: bogus multipart content in message .../mobile-tabs.eml
msg part type/subtype size description
0 multipart/alternative 11K
1 text/html 6861
but when I try to extract it with
show -file mobile-tabs.eml -part 1
Do you want to store the content on disk or display it? For storing there
is mhstore(1). You can simple use:
mhstore -file mobile-tabs.eml -part 1
show (mhshow on nmh) is to display the mail.
I get
show: bogus multipart content in message .../mobile-tabs.eml
Date: ...
From: ...
To: ...
Subject: Mobile tabs
show: don't know how to display any of the contents
(content multipart/alternative in message .../mobile-ta bs.eml)
Following the mmh documentation I added
mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html
to my
~/.mmh/profile
as suggested by the documentation but it didn't help. I also tried to
direct it to use cat for such content type, also with no change.
To display text/html parts you need to add a mhshow-show-<type>/<subtype>
entry to your profile. For example to display html rendered with elinks
add somethig like:
mhshow-show-text/html: elinks -dump
That the fallback to just print the text for text/* mimetypes fail when
selecting the part directly is a known bug in mmh.
