Beside the script "mutt.octet.filter" I wrote a wrapper for this kind of
(M$) garbage ;-)
I defined it in my ~/.mailcap and it redefines the mime-type according
to the file extension and hand it over to mime-utils again. It could be
much more generic by reading ~/.mime.types and using this as a decision
base or you might rewrite it in a scripting lang with some mime-libs
(perl, python), but that was beyond the scope of my needs...
======================
#!/bin/sh
# handle-octstream
# Defaults
ACTION=see
TYPE="text/html"
while getopts spe param
do
case $param in
s) ACTION=see;;
p) ACTION=print;;
e) ACTION=edit;;
*) ACTION=see;;
esac
continue
done
shift
F=${1:?"No Filename given! Finished."}
WORD="application/msword"
XL="application/excel"
case $F in
*.xls,*.XLS) TYPE=$XL;;
*.doc,*.DOC) TYPE=$WORD;;
*.txt,*.TXT) TYPE=$WORD;;
esac
$ACTION "$TYPE:$F"
======================
The mailcap-entry is as follows:
application/octet-stream; ~/bin/handle-octstream -s '%s';print=~/bin/handle-octstream
-p '%s';edit=~/bin/handle-octstream -e '%s'
Ciao for now, Dirk
