Yeah, if you put:

automimeproc: 1

in your mh_profile, that will do it.

That has some side effects; any line beginning with a '#' will be
interpreted as mhbuild directives; if, for example, you include C source
code in your email you will get errors from mhbuild.  That's part of what
I want to clean up.

Well, I was thinking that you could use -nomoreproc, but it turns out
mhshow doesn't support all of the flags that show does.  Also something
to fix.  But I think "mhshow | cat" would work?  I was just thinking that
maybe your pager was the problem.

Well, I think Ralph has addressed that; it may be a problem with the
HTML.  But maybe lynx is getting it wrong?  Perhaps it's assuming
iso-8859-1 (or more likely windows-1252) and no charset is in the
HTML.
