Jonathan's message confused me too. As far as I can tell, "see" is
a *shell* command, not a mutt command. I don't know why there's a ";"
in front of it.
unicorn:~$ see --norun application/octet-stream:/dev/null
Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"
Nothing else I tried made any more sense than that. Even using ":"
instead of ";" (to invoke it as a mutt command) didn't work, because "see"
isn't a mutt command.
