Not exactly. There are two MIME hooks, and you'll need them both for what you're trying to do: mime-decode, for turning an attachment into text (displayed directly in Sup), and mime-view, for launching third-party applications to view an attachment. I've updated the docs on these two in git to make their relationship a little more clear, but in summary: mime-decode should return a string, or nil if uncovertable, and mime-view should return true if the application was successful, and false otherwise. Note that by default Sup calls run-mailcap to view attachments it can't convert to text, so you can make the dumbplumb behavior global by changing your mailcap instead.

That's awesome. Very useful for Sup. -- William <wmorgan-...@masanjin.net> _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list sup-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
