[mew-int 01109] Handling Incoming HTML attachments

[Charles Muller]

I have been able to handle all kinds of incoming attachments with MEW (2.2, on RedHat
7.3) without much trouble. But I have been having trouble with HTML
attachments. When I click on the message with <space> or "." like in the
below case of message #154:

  154 M10/09 Charles Muller ** no subject **                                 
 <20021009.045435.74751288.acmuller at example.com> <>
     2  Text/Html(us-ascii)   

The HTML attachment appears listed below. If it were an MS-Word, or ZIP
attachment, or anything else, then when I press the space bar on the
attachment line, I would receive the following kind of response:

   To save this part, type 'y'.
   To insert this part in Message mode, type ','.
   To execute a specified external command, type 'C-c C-y'. 
   To display this part as a specified Content-Type:, type 'C-u C-c C-e'.

However, with HTML attachments, I don't receive this message. Instead the
message itself appears in HTML format (I can't see the underlying HTML
code). So when I save the message using Emacs, it is saved as a plain text
message, and all the HTML is lost.

How can I save an HTML attachment as a separate HTML file?
