the patches from John look correct here (mutt).

xdg-open for anything launches firefox here and let him decide
what to do with the extension. we should use our defined viewers
for formats we know (like pdf, html).
xdg-open should open different things depending upon the extension.
Here, e.g., xdg-open file.tex opens kile. I guess, though, that it will
never execute anything, right? But this isn't true on Windows, I do not
think.
Still, you are right that we should use defined viewers for things we
know about.
