same problem. the attachment is successfully opened but sup thinks it
failed and sup displays it as text.

nope, just the exact two lines you supplied above.
I wonder if the problem is that system isn't correctly understanding
the return value from open?
tangerine:~>open K.png
tangerine:~>echo $?
0
hmmm, I would think 0 is the expected success value? How could I reverse
true and false? I'm curious to try that but
! $?.success?
$?.success?true:false
don't work, they error out and sup defaults to run-mailcap.
