That's what I would do in your place. It turned out I just needed to loose the '|less' to make it do what I wanted, and I'm wondering why I piped to less, I seem to remember that I experimented and found I needed it, but I don't! Thanks for the pointers and the spellchecking, I've now s/cupious/copious/'ed it, and it also helped. ;-) Thanks to the two guys mailing me off-list too.

Viewing application/msword thingies.
Hi! I'm getting a lot af mail with *.doc files attached, and I'd like to use catdoc to show them in mutt, how do I do that? I have the line: application/msword; catdoc -s iso8859-1 %s|less; cupiousoutput in my ~/.mutt_mailcap, and an autoview antry for it in my ~/.muttrc, and I still can't get the autoview thing to work, why? I have to 'v' and then select the entry I wanna see. The mail come from Outlook, so they are attached in a strange way, so that might be it, here's an example how it looks when I 'v' a mail: I 1 no description [text/plain, 7bit, iso-8859-1, 0.1K] I 2 Pressemeddelelse om Salm. typh.DT104, mu [message/rfc822, 7bit, 29K] I 3 mqno description[multipa/mixed, 7bit, 29K] I 4 tqno description [text/plain, quoted,iso-8859-1, 0.2K] A 5 mqPressemeddelelse den 23. oktober 2000.do[applica/msword, base64, I 6 VS: Telefonpasning og pakkepost [message/rfc822, 7bit, 28K] I 7 mqno description [multipa/mixed, 7bit, 28K] I 8 tqno description [text/plain, quoted, iso-8859-1, 0.4K] A 9 mqTelefonpasning.doc [applica/msword, base64, 27K] I10 Telefonpasning og pakkepost [message/rfc822, 7bit, 0.6K] I11 mqno description [text/plain, quoted, iso-8859-1, 0.1K] I12 Besked til omstillingen [message/rfc822, 7bit, 0.8K] I13 mqno description [text/plain, quoted, iso-8859-1, 0.3K] I14 Møde for HK klubben 2. november [message/rfc822, 7bit, 29K] I15 mqno description [multipa/mixed, 7bit, 27K] I16 tqno description [text/plain, quoted, iso-8859-1, 0.5K] A17 mq=?iso-8859-1?Q?HKklm=F8de=2Edoc? [applica/msword, base64, 26K] Note: some thing got a little garbled in the cut'n paste, but you get the picture. I can highlight the msword entries, and they are shown bu catdoc, but I'd like that to happen automagically, hence the autoview in my ~~/.muttrc. How? I set the charset catdoc uses to iso8859-1, but I will output letters with umlauts instead of the danish æ, ø and å, how is that fixed? Changing the MUA at work is simply impossible.
