This can be done from .mailcap in your home directory, using entries such
as this:
image/*; ee %s
Adding this line to your .mailcap file will cause programs that use mime
types to launch ee (electric eyes) for any file that has a type starting
with `image' (assuming there are no contradictory entries).
This will work for most e-mail clients and web browsers, but I'm not sure
if it will work for KDE's file manager. You'll have to try it and let us
know I guess! :-)
