If you have mutt, you don't need the stand-alone MIME handling packages.
Mutt should be able to view the attachment, provided it has a proper MIME
type (not "application/octet-stream", which basically means the sending mail
program didn't know), and you have a viewer for that MIME type installed.

Apparantly you haven't. You can still use 'v' <move> 's' to save the
attachment (with base64 encoding undone), and use the saved file.

HTH,
