I use a combination of vim, the CheckAttach plugin [0] and ranger [1] and w3mimgdisplay.

I have in my .mailcap: image/*; mutt_bgrun sxiv -fbz100 '%s' Then, in mutt's Compose view, is bound to view-attach -- selecting an attachment and hitting return opens the file in the specified application _after_ attaching the file. In the Directory view when navigation to an attachment, is bound to view-file and does the same _before_ attaching the file. This works for every mimetype you have a suitable viewer for.
preview images before attaching
I am frequently attaching images to emails in mutt and wonder if there is a way I can preview them when selecting the files, but before actually attaching them. I imagine selecting/entering the path to the file to be attached, but then pressing TAB once more, or using any other keypress, launching eg. imagemagick's display to show the image briefly. This might be a funny idea, but I thought if one software could do it, it would be mutt. ;) thanks for all ideas/comments! Peter
