Hello,

I seem to recall that “&” would open the current message using an
external browser. That doesn’t seem to work anymore and a quick review
of the key bindings didn’t turn up anything that looked like that
functionality. Am I imagining it, or did it get (re)moved?

Be seeing you,
norm

You can use “a” (actions) and then “b” (viewInBrowser).

Best,
C.

“b” is not one of the choices I get. I get “capture”, “view as PDF”,
and “show thread”.

It's a non-default action, so you need to add the action yourself...
but, I have added it to the changes for 1.6.3, once that is available,
'a v' does the trick.

Kind regards,
Dirk.

Sorry, forgot my customization of that variable. Here it is:

,----
| (setq mu4e-view-actions
| '(("sMark as spam" . mu4e-view-register-msg-as-spam)
| ("hMark as ham" . mu4e-view-register-msg-as-ham)
| ("bViewInBrowser" . mu4e-action-view-in-browser)
| ("capture message" . mu4e-action-capture-message)
| ("tShow this thread" . mu4e-action-show-thread)))
`----

Hope it helps,
C.
