Well, there's always the handy trick of defining specific mime types
as handled by sz. I use this for my wife's login so that she can
easily transfer pictures from her unix shell to her windows machine.
I simply placed this line in ~/.mailcap:
image/*; sz '%s'
so when she selects an image from within mutt, it sz's it to her (which
SecureCRT handles quite seamlessly). I presume you could tweak the
"image/*" part to catch whatever particular type of file you want to
sz.
