Open HTML attachments with chromium

[Alfredo Palhares]

Hello everyone,

Can I set sup to open HTML only emails with chromium ?
It a pain in arse to always save the attachment and then open the file with
chromium.

Regards,

Hey Alfredo,

If you're using linux you can add the following to .sup/hooks/mime-view.rb:

pid = Process.spawn("xdg-open", filename,                                                                                        

                     :out => '/dev/null',                                                                                         

                     :err => '/dev/null')                                                                                         

                                                                                                                                 

Process.detach pid                                                                                                               

                                                                                                                                 

true     

This will open any filetype in the application associated with it (libreoffice documents, pdfs, etc). Just scroll to the file and hit 'enter'.

Hey guys,

I personnally use this one-liner which is basically the same thing:

$ cat /path/to/hooks/mime-view.rb
system("xdg-open #{filename} > /dev/null 2>&1 &")

Note the final "&": you need it if you don't want to wait for the right
program to be chosen and opened before being able to use sup again
(because the hook is blocking)
