Hi Ismael,

A hook inside Mutt/NeoMutt would be a great idea, but as far as I know Mutt/NeoMutt don't currently have such a feature. It would be very helpfull, for example it could allow Mutt to choose automaically whether to generate the HTML mime part or not based on the recipient.

You can accomplish that, however, with a simple "workaround" (or
perhaps a feature), by using macros in Mutt that enables switching
dynamically between sending the message "as is" (no HTML), or to pipe
it into plainMail2HTML before handing it over to sendmail.

The macro files I'm using are included with the package, and there are
instructions for how to use them in the readme file:

I hope this answers your questions.

All the best,

Amit
