This doesn't work. See, the file on disk is never changed. If I do
<edit-type> and change the mime-type from, say, application/octed-stream
to application/msword, and then hit e to edit the file directly, there
is still a content type of application/octed-stream. Mutt will show
this attachment as application/msword and will honor my mailcap entries
for this type, but only as long as the folder is open. Once I open
another folder (or quit mutt) all changes are lost.
Ciao,
Viktor
