There are also pdf and dvi documents to consider.
The mime-support package, which I imagine is installed on your system,
contains run-mailcap. Invoking it as `see' you'll be able to view a doc
with a program determined from the entries in the mime.types and mailcap
files in /etc. Personally, I customise ~/.mailcap with viewing programs
of my choice.
