question: how to change file extension generated by (notmuch-show-view-part)

I've been trying to use links2 to view html part of messages.
The problem I'm encountering is that, the part would be saved as
/tmp/xxx/xxx.shtml and
passed on to links2, and it seems links2 doesn't recognise the .shtml
extension.

netsurf works well with .shtml though.

But being stubborn as I am, I would like to know if I can make notmuch
output .html file instead?
I did a bit of research on shtml, seems it's completely unnecessary in this
case? why would notmuch choose this extension anyway?

I could not duplicate this with the message you sent to the list. Does
it happen with all html parts for you, or just some? If the latter, can
you share an example message?

I suspect emacs is taking taking the file name from the message, but I
don't know for sure.

Thank you very much for your email.
I just tried this again but could not reproduce it either.
I guess it just happened to a very particular message in my inbox.
I was probably quite unlucky that my first try was on such a
peculiar message.
Now I couldn't remember what message I was looking at and I cannot find it
anymore.
I'll report back if I see the problem again.

I could not find any reference to .shtml in notmuch emacs mua sources
... nor could I find such in the "message" sources
(zgrep ... in /usr/share/emacs/{version}/lisp/gnus/*.gz)
notmuch emacs mua is using doing many of the things.

How did you configure emacs to use links2/netsurf to view html parts ?

(/usr/share/emacs/{version}/lisp/gnus/mm-view.elc.gz defines these
to be known and how those are executed:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--
(defvar mm-text-html-renderer-alist
  '((shr . mm-shr)
    (w3m . mm-inline-text-html-render-with-w3m)
    (w3m-standalone . mm-inline-text-html-render-with-w3m-standalone)
    (gnus-w3m . gnus-article-html)
    (links mm-inline-render-with-file
           mm-links-remove-leading-blank
           "links" "-dump" file)
    (lynx mm-inline-render-with-stdin nil
          "lynx" "-dump" "-force_html" "-stdin" "-nolist")
    (html2text mm-inline-render-with-function html2text))
  "The attributes of renderer types for text/html.")

I created ~/.mailcap and put the following line in it:
text/html; links2 -g %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

I did not change my configuration and now I cannot reproduce the behaviour
however I try.
