Can't open HTML parts about astroid HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi,

Thanks for testing out astroid!

Have you made sure that the HTML-part (greenish-box) thing is selected
before activating ('o' or enter) the element?

Use j/k after the email is selected to move to the next element inside
the email. j/k really only moves between the elements in the whole email
thread, while n/p quickly moves between the emails in a thread (with
several emails).

hope that works, if you have any suggestion on how i can make this
clearer it is much appreciated. you can also set open_html_part_external
to false and astroid will show the email inline when you 'activate' it.

Hi,

I've just started using Astroid but I really like it so far, so thanks!

I can't seem to open HTML parts though. I've tried pressing o or enter with the email selected but nothing happens. I have "open_html_part_external": "true", in my config and i've set "open_external_link" to point to Firefox (also tried it with the default xdg-open which is installed an I've tested from the command line). The text for the external part says "Alternative part (type: text/html) - potentially sketchy." but there doesn't seem to be any way to highlight or activate it.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I've run out of ideas, sorry!

Ah yes that does the trick, thanks! I was using the arrow keys. Maybe the help page for the thread view could have an extra note after the info on j/k along the lines of "(including parts within a message)" or something to that effect?

Thanks again, I'm really liking the look of Astroid overall, it addresses most of the issues I've had with other notmuch clients very nicely.

Refined it. Let me know if there are other issues.

This doesn't work for me. Pressing 'o' just opens up a search box no matter what I do.
