  • [ANN] MHTview 0.3 (view HTML email w/ inline pics)

    From Dario Niedermann@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 27 23:13:54 2017
    MHTview is a Bash script that allows you to view HTML email messages
    with inline attachments using a browser of your choice. Just pipe the
    whole message into `mhtview'.

    I took a quick glance at the code, two remarks:

    The canonical Unix environment variable name for the temporary directory
    is TMPDIR, not TMP.

    Creating temporary file names using `date +%s` creates a race condition.
    Use the mktemp command instead.

    Do you have a source for this? Preferrably with other best-practice
    tips, but not necessarily.

    I know `mktemp' but I've never researched its portability. If it's
    portable enough, I'll probably switch to that technique.

    Thank you! I'll use TMPDIR and `mktemp' in the next version.
