Mutt uses the "mailcap" file on your system to determine what to do
with each kind of file in a MIME-message. This is usually either
/etc/mailcap or ~/.mailcap (or both together). You can also tell
Mutt where to look for the mailcap file by setting the $mailcap_path
variable in your .muttrc, though usually the default value works just
fine.
Anyway, the reason why Electric Eyes is attempted to use for whatever
type of image you tried to view, it was because your system's existing
mailcap file has a definition that says that for that kind of image,
Electric Eyes is used. If you don't have or don't want to use Electric
Eyes, you should modify the mailcap settings accordingly.
