Works here partially with the following entries:
text/html ; lynx -dump -force_html %s ; copiousoutput
text/htm ; lynx -dump -force_html %s ; copiousoutput
message/html ; lynx -dump -force_html %s ; copiousoutput
message/htm ; lynx -dump -force_html %s ; copiousoutput
application/pgp-sign; less %s
text/html; w3m -T text/html
text/html; w3m -T text/html -dump; copiousoutput
application/msword; winword %s
application/rtf; winword %s
application/msexcel; excel %s
application/vnd.ms-excel; excel %s
application/x-msexcel; excel %s
application/ppt; powerpnt %s
application/pps; powerpnt %s
application/pdf; acrobat %s
application/x-mspowerpoint; powerpnt %s
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint; powerpnt %s
application/vnd.ms-project; winproj %s
application/x-tar-gz; tar -tvzf %s; copiousoutput
application/x-tar; tar -tvf %s; copiousoutput
application/x-zip-compressed; zipinfo %s; copiousoutput
application/zip; zipinfo %s; copiousoutput
application/octet-stream; mutt.octet.filter %s; copiousoutput
winword is the following script
$ less /usr/local/bin/winword
#!/bin/bash
OfficeDrive=$(cygpath -u C:)
DefaultOfficeDrive=$(cygpath -u $SYSTEMDRIVE)
OfficeDrive=${OfficeDrive:-$DefaultOfficeDrive}
OfficeDir="$OfficeDrive/Programme/Microsoft Office/Office"
DefaultTempDir=$(cygpath -u $TEMP)
TempDir=${TempDir:-$DefaultTempDir}
TempFile=$TempDir/$(basename $1)
Program=$(basename $0)
File=$(cygpath -w $TempFile)
mv $1 $TempFile
("$OfficeDir/$Program" "$File"; rm -f $TempFile)&
winproj, excel are the same script. acrobat follows
$ less /usr/local/bin/acrobat
#!/bin/bash
OfficeDrive=$(cygpath -u D:)
DefaultOfficeDrive=$(cygpath -u $SYSTEMDRIVE)
OfficeDrive=${OfficeDrive:-$DefaultOfficeDrive}
OfficeDir="$OfficeDrive/Programme/Adobe/Acrobat4.0/Acrobat"
DefaultTempDir=$(cygpath -u $TEMP)
TempDir=${TempDir:-$DefaultTempDir}
TempFile=$TempDir/$(basename $1)
Program=$(basename $0)
File=$(cygpath -w $TempFile)
mv $1 $TempFile
("$OfficeDir/$Program" "$File"; rm -f $TempFile)&

same here.

in .muttrc
set print_command=$HOME/bin/print
$ cat ~/bin/print
#!/bin/sh
cat > .printout
lpr -S <server> -P <printer> .printout
where <server> is a windows print server with lpd enabled.

One can use fetchmail to fetch mail from a server and pipe them to
procmail. Examples see on http://unixmail-w32.sourceforge.net/.
