Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx.cfg - mime types - viewer for text terminal audio player mpg123

[Klaus-Peter Wegge]

It's in the PATH and full path spec doesn't make a difference.
But the change in .mailcap is a work arround.
audio/mpeg; mpg123 -v %s

The VIEWER definition seems to check for the
DISPLAY env. It's set to DISPLAY=0
May be there is something wrong with the VIEWER defintion.

Thanks, Klaus
