I have the following section for pdf in my .mailcap: application/pdf; mutt_bgrun /usr/bin/X11/gv '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" application/pdf; pdftotext %s -; copiousoutput this is more or less copied from gary johnson's setup, at http://www.spocom.com/users/gjohnson/mutt I find the mutt_bgrun script descriped there (and used above) essential, as is mutt_octet_view for viewing (especially) M$ office docs. > > Also on the HTML + mutt front, someone else recommended this recently, > which means I can now reply to an HTML email and I get a plain text email > (which is GREAT).
