I have an alias for text content because that is so common: alias sl='clear; show -nocheckmime -showproc less' Or, this profile entry will let mhshow handle it: mhshow-show-application/octet-stream: %pless '%F' > How about using the MHSHOW environment variable to give a one-off > application/octet-stream handler separate from the normal ones in your > profile? I get by with just two handlers for octet-stream, and (ab)use mhn instead of mhshow for pdf: mhn-show-application/octet-stream: %lxpdf '%F' David _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
