I don't know VLC and what it accepts as arguments, but with mplayer this works at the Mutt pipe-entry prompt: mplayer - or mplayer /dev/stdin Find out if and how VLC accepts standard input as an argument. > But it doesn't really matter. I was just being curious about it. :-) In practice you would use pipe-message and pipe-entry for text content mainly I would think. c -- theatre - books - texts - movies Black Trash Productions at home: http://www.blacktrash.org Black Trash Productions on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/blacktrashproductions
