A similar line in Dos would be

text/html; copy %s tmp.htm | explore tmp.htm | del tmp.htm

or just

text/html; showhtml.bat %s

Where showhtml.bat would include the copy, explore and del commands.

This is, however this is not my problem. My problem is that Yarn
locks when I return from the html viewer (DosLynx). This is not
the case, if a small editor is called instead. Therefore it
seems to me that it has something with limited memory size (1M)
to do.

It seems to me that Yarn does not dump to disk when the call
to the external routine (metamail and the external html-viewer)
is made. Correct?

As suggested by Donald Breda I will try "view" as an external
html (and other formats too!) viewer. I'd wellcome other
suggestions for small Dos based html (and Word) viewers.

Thanks for sharing
