Replace unzip with a script that asks for the file name and then calls
unzip. What is unzip? gunzip from gzip? I have several similar scripts
but not one that does this exactly.

If you want this fine. If you do not, have your mutt mailcap somewhere
that Netscape does not look. I use ~/.mutt/mailcap and point to this
with use mailcap in .muttrc. Netscape, lynx etc sometimes do not like
copiousoutput in mailcap lines.
