On my RedHat 6.2 system, I could "v"iew a message with attachments to
see what the attachments were.  Then I could cursor down to the jpeg
file that someone had sent to me.  Then I could press Enter and it would
spawn xview and show me the picture.

Doing it in Mandrake 8.2 and in current cooker, I get:
  No matching mailcap entry found.  Viewing as text.

mutt wasn't getting it from the .mailcap or .mimetype entries because I
have those from my old 6.2 install and it's still doing that.  mutt
wasn't getting it from my .muttrc nor any files I was including there
because I have those as well and it's still doing that.

Interesting.
