Either use/extend mime.types (you can create an additonal mime.types file: $HOME/.mime.types) in conjunction with mime_lookup application/octet-stream application/octetstream in your muttrc. Or use a script like Gary Johnsons mutt_bgrun: http://www.spocom.com/users/gjohnson/mutt/ c -- theatre - books - texts - movies Black Trash Productions at home: http://www.blacktrash.org Black Trash Productions on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/blacktrashproductions
