Description of problem: Using mutt with the default mailcap, Firefox is used to view text/html attachments that are part of a multipart/related attachment. However, the image/jpeg attachements that are part of the same multipart/related attachment are not rendered. Instead they are shown as broken links.

How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use mutt to view an IMAP folder. 2. Open an IMAP message having a multipart/related attachment made of html and images. 3. Observe the Firefox opens and renders the html but displays broken links where the images should be rendered. Expected results: The HTML with images should be rendered. Additional info: Not sure if this should be a bug against mutt or mailcap.
Hi. In fact firefox cannot display text/html attachment properly. In mails are used resource locators different to locators used in web [1] therefore firefox shows it as a broken link. The other problem is that when you view an text/html attachment in mutt, only the text/html part is extracted and sent to firefox (or any other program). No other parts (eg. the images) are extracted from the mail message. [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2392
