But imap_pass = "$smtp_pass" seems like a silly use case.

Interesting, I do not know about .mailcap (I use mutt only to send some automated mails ro users who want the data formatted in an HTML table).

Maybe that is what he does. I certainly looks very readable (which mutt is not, as a general rule, when viewing HTML mail).

It does seem to hide the links entirely, so you cannot, I assume click on any "Click here to confirm" links or whatever. Still, does look quite workable.
