it's possible to modify mutt - but depending on how your mailcap is setup, may be just as easy to modify the script that runs the viewer. what's involved - an application is needed to quietly check if the X display can be opened. This topic has come up occasionally, and usually devolves into a discussion of the $DISPLAY variable, which can be misleading. -- Thomas E.
