How do I > config mutt so that it will view jpg attachments? mailcap comes with a default entry for this (/etc/mailcap): image/jpeg; display '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" Do if you have Image Magick installed, "display" will be used to display images. You can, of course, change this to your favorite image viewer. > I would also like to know how to change it so that mutt fires up > netscape instead of lynx for the html attachments. Just the same here ... > Also, what do people use for viewing jpg attachments?

IMHO using gimp to just view images is as bad an idea as firing up Emacs for just editing one command line ;-) hth, Matthias -- Matthias Richter --+- stud. soz. & inf. -+-- http://www.uni-leipzig.de --> GPG Public Key: http://www.matthias-richter.de/gpg.ascii <--
