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.
