#3460: view-attachments menu "view-attach" command uses auto_view for all text
attachments, even when a suitable interactive command is in the mailcap
file. This is particularly bad for text/html attachments.

I'm not advocating either side of the main discussion, but I wanted
to point out that that last statement is not true. There are
several situations in which I need--or find it useful--to read
text/plain attachments from the attachment menu. One is where a
multipart/alternative message has text/plain and text/html parts,
alternative_order is set to display the text/html part in the pager,
but the text/html part is empty or corrupt. Another is where a
message has several parts that need to be converted from some other
type (e.g., Word) to text to be read in the pager and that
conversion takes a long time. Reading the text/plain part of the
message from the attachment menu avoids that conversion time.
