metamail and viewers

I recently sent a note to the list about metamail, mailcap, etc. and
external viewers. My ISP had a major burp, and all my mail got muddled
together. I was able to see a couple of emails, but I'm not sure if anyone
had a decent suggestion. I'm trying to set up a viewer for HTML files. I have
metamail set up in my $home/config file. I have set mailcaps= in my
autoexec. I have an HTML viewer set up in the mailcaps file. What I can't
do is get Yarn to actually bring up the viewer. I get no error message, not
even a flash of one between when the yarn screen goes black and comes back.
It's obviously shelling out somewhere, but it's not bombing or working
right.

I think Tim asked if I had mailcaps set in my autoexec. I do. I've copied
the relevant parts of my config file and my mailcap file below. Anyone know
what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks...

#program that enables mime decoding of yarn messages
