I use mutt.
I would like mutt to be able to start abiword for .doc attachments (word
documents) and acrobat reader to display pdf document attachments.
However, mutt's viewer lists both of these attachments as octet-stream.
I believe that this means that mutt can't tell what these files really are,
just that they are binary files.
So, how do I get mailcap configured so it can distinguish these two file
types?
I guess my real question is, how does mutt figure out what these two file
types are? There must be a way to configure mutt to distinguish .doc from
.pdf so mailcap can be configured to run the proper viewer programs.
I have read the mutt documentation but it just is not simple enuf
for me to understand.
Naturally, I suspect I could write my own bash script to do this, that is,
have a bash script handle all octet-stream attachments and start up the proper viewer,
but there must be a built in way of doing this.
