Yeah, ah seems a nice addition to the toolchain and I might well
adopt it.

However, it does not solve the problem. I might have ah be the
default mailcap viewer, but occasionally I will want to open a PNG
file with Gimp, not the default viewer. Right now, this requires me
to save the file and invoke Gimp externally.

How would you (a) get mutt to save a temporary file, using e.g. the
MIME filename or a MIME-type derived file name and then invoke some
_other_ command on the file?
