In the wee hours of the morning, approximately three hours before I usually wake up, I'm finding it hard to remember little details like the T383838mailcap is responsible for holding the mime types and corresponding commands that can be used to deal with those types.

I sat staring at a new T383838muttrc file trying to remember what to put in it so that either T383838w3m or T383838pandoc would get invoked to convert ugly HTML messages into more palatable text.

Eventually I grepped my notes for T383838mutt and found a mention of adding T383838mutt-ics to my T383838mailcap file. That was for calendar invites and such, but it was enough to spark my memory. Then after brief admonishments I created a T383838mailcap file to convert text/html into text.

Here's what that looks like at the moment:

Time to turn off the soundtrack for Hacknet and sleep.
