I am unable to open HTML attachments in Chrome when running Mutt on Cygwin. I view the message, then enter the list of attachments (v), then choose the text/html attachment and press m to execute mailcap's handling. The Chrome window opens successfully but nothing is in it. I instead see the following output in the terminal window:

[15132:12492:0717/120514.152:ERROR:cache_util_win.cc(20)] Unable to move the cache: 5
[15132:12492:0717/120514.152:ERROR:cache_util.cc(134)] Unable to move cache folder C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\ShaderCache\GPUCache to C:\Users\kutnic\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\ShaderCache\old_GPUCache_000

[15132:12492:0717/120514.210:ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(103)] Failed to launch GPU process.

Some relevant configurations:

~/.muttrc

auto_view text/html # view html automatically
alternative_order text/html text/plain text/enriched  # show html first,for  testing

~/.mailcap

text/html; "/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe" '%s'; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html
text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html; copiousoutput;

You should convert path to windows format with cygpath -w before passing it to chrome

/etc/mailcap

text/html; "/cygdrive/c/Program Files \(x86\)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe" `cygpath -w %s`; needsterminal;
