Yes, with caveats. I use the '&' on the end of a command in .mailcap to release the terminal back to mutt, but mutt will immediately delete the temporary file containing the attachment, so I usually add a sleep as well to give the external application time enough to load it first. For instance: text/html; firefox %s & sleep 5; test=RunningX; Firefox has five seconds to load the HTML attachment before it gets deleted. That isn't always long enough, unfortunately. -- Sterling (Chip) Camden | [email protected] | 2048D/3A978E4F http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com | http://chipsquips.com
