You didn't which web sites you had read, so if you haven't already, take a look here: http://www.spocom.com/users/gjohnson/mutt/#mime http://www.spocom.com/users/gjohnson/mutt/#office The methods explained there have worked well for me. The rules I am using now for "application/msword" are these in my mailcap file: application/msword; mutt_rem_bgrun openoffice.org-2.1 -view %s; test=RunningX application/msword; word2text %s; copiousoutput and this in my muttrc: auto_view application/msword The mutt_rem_bgrun script allows me to have mutt run on Solaris and launch applications such as OpenOffice on Linux.
